Question 8 • Algebra I

Which value of A in the exponential function would cause the function to shrink? f of x is equal to a times 3 halves to the x th power

Answer
A
7 fourths
B
3 halves
C
5 fourths
D
4 fifths

Explanation

A positive coefficient A between 0 and 1 vertically shrinks the graph by scaling every output to a smaller value. Of the choices, 4/5 is the only value between 0 and 1, so it causes a shrink. The base 3/2 still means the function grows as x increases.
