Question
Which of the following statements is true about the exponential function ℎ given by ℎ𝑥=-3·4𝑥 ?Responsesℎ is always increasing, and the graph of ℎ is always concave up.h is always increasing, and the graph of h is always concave up.ℎ is always increasing, and the graph of ℎ is always concave down.h is always increasing, and the graph of h is always concave down.ℎ is always decreasing, and the graph of ℎ is always concave up.h is always decreasing, and the graph of h is always concave up.ℎ is always decreasing, and the graph of ℎ is always concave down.
Solution
The function ℎ is always decreasing, and the graph of ℎ is always concave down. This is because the base of the exponential function (4) is greater than 1, but the function is multiplied by -3, which makes it a decreasing function. The graph of a decreasing exponential function is always concave down.
