State Whether the Function Is an Exponential Growth Function or Exponential

question 183

Multiple Choice

State whether the function is an exponential growth function or exponential decay function, and describe its end
behavior using limits.
- $f ( x ) = \left( \frac { 1 } { 6 } \right) ^ { - x }$

• A) Exponential decay function; \(\lim _ { x \rightarrow \infty } f ( x ) = \infty ; \lim _ { x \rightarrow \infty } f ( x ) = 0\)
• B) Exponential growth function; \(\lim _ { x \rightarrow \infty } f ( x ) = \infty ; \lim _ { x \rightarrow \infty } f ( x ) = 0\)
• C) Exponential decay function; \(\lim _ { x \rightarrow \infty } f ( x ) = 0 ; \lim _ { x \rightarrow \infty } f ( x ) = \infty\)
• D) Exponential growth function; \(\lim _ { x \rightarrow \infty } f ( x ) = 0 ; \lim _ { x \rightarrow \infty } f ( x ) = \infty\)

Definitions:

Attribution

The process of inferring the causes behind behaviors and events, which can influence how individuals understand and interact with their environment.

Experimenter Bias

A form of bias introduced by the experimenter whose expectations about the outcome of the experiment can be subtly communicated to the participants.

Researchers Blind

A method used in studies where researchers are kept unaware of key aspects of the research, such as which participants belong to the control or experimental group, to prevent bias.

External Validity

The extent to which the results of a study can be generalized to other situations and to other people.
