The function f(x) = 5^(x-1) is shown on the coordinate plane.

select from the options to correctly describe the end behavior of f(x).

as x decreases without bound, the graph of f(x)
•approaches y=0
•increases without bound
•decreases without bound

as x increases without bound, the graph of f(x)
•approaches y=0
•increases without bound
•decreases without bound

The arrow in each end of the function means continuations. Remember that, decreasing is when x increases while y decreases. And increasing is when x increases while y increases.

As x decreases without bound, the graph of f(x) approaches y = 0, because in the graph we can see that there's sort of restriction on x-axis.

As x increases without bound, the graph of f(x) increases without bound. Because the graph doesn't show any kind of restriction at the right end.

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
