Question 3

4. The graph of the equation
   f(x) = (4c^x) - 3, c > 1, has the same horizontal asymptote as which of the following?

A. y = -f(x) - 6

B. y = -f(x) + 6

C. y = -f(x) + 3

D. y = -f(x) - 3

Answer 3

A

Question 4

6. An exponential function is given by
   f(x) = (ac^b(x - h)) + k, where a < 0,
   b < 0, c > 1, h > 0, k > 0, has a range of (-oo, 5). When y = f(x) is vertically stretched by a factor of 2 about the x-axis, shifted right 4 units and down 3 units, determine the equation of any asymptote and range after the transformation.

Answer 4

Asymptote: y = 7

Range = y < 7

Question 5

7. A new car worth $40 000 loses 15% of its value every 2 years. Write an equation that models the value of the car, V, after time, t, in years.

Answer 5

V = 40 000 (0.85)^t/2
