Using the given exponential function, determine the growth/decay factor as well as the rate of increase/decrease. Type your answers in as numbers. Example: Growth Factor: 3.5, Rate of Increase: 2.5. (Do not input your rate of increase as a percent. If there are fractions, you can input your answer as a fraction. i. e. - 4/5, or 1/10) f(x)=200(4/5)^x

Growth rate is -1/5

Growth factor is 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the growth rate and the growth factor

Generally for an exponential function given as;

y = a(1 + r)^n

r is the growth rate

1 + r is the growth factor

We can express the given exponential function as follows;

f(x) = 200(1-1/5)^x

So the growth rate is -1/5

The growth factor is 1-1/5 = 4/5

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
