ALGEBRA 2 PLEASE HELP DUE TODAY! 100 POINTS! Jake and Grace are working on their Algebra 2 homework. Jake states that unless you graph the exponential function, you cannot determine if the function is an exponential growth or decay. Grace disagrees with Jake. If you are Grace, how would you explain to Jake about how you would determine if a function is a growth or decay WITHOUT graphing it?
Provide examples of both types of exponential functions in your explanation.

Explain how to use the graph to estimate logarithms such as In100 .

Use the graph to estimate In100 .

How can you use a calculator to check your estimate? What would you enter into the calculator?

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't think this will help sorry :((

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
