The graph represents the function f(x) = 10(2)x.

On a coordinate plane, an exponential growth function approaches y = 0 in the second quadrant and goes through points (negative 1, 5), (0, 10), (1, 20), (2, 40).
How would the graph change if the b value in the equation is decreased but remains greater than 1? Check all that apply.

Use a calculator to verify that σ(x) = 62, σ(x2) = 1034, σ(y) = 644, σ(y2) = 93,438, and σ(x y) = 9,622. compute r. (enter a number. round your answer to three decimal places.) as x increases from 3 to 22 months, does the value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease? explain your answer. given our value of r, y should tend to increase as x increases. given our value of r, we can not draw any conclusions for the behavior of y as x increases. given our value of r, y should tend to remain constant as x increases. given our value of r, y should tend to decrease as x increases.
