Which function could be a stretch of the exponential decay
function shown on the graph?
f(x) = 2(6)
f(x) = 1/2(6)
f(x) = 2[1/6]
f(x) = 1/2[1/6]

(x) = 2(1/6)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

To easily solve this problem, we can graph each option using a graphing calculator, or any equation plotting tool.

Case 1

f(x) = 2(6)^x

Case 2

f(x) = 1/2*(6)^x

Case 3

f(x) = 2(1/6)^x

Case 4

f(x) = 1/2*(1/6)^x

By looking at the pictures below, we can tell that the correct option is

Case 3

f(x) = 2(1/6)^x

Since the stretch is done by a factor of 2

the answer would be c:   ax + b = ax + c
