Answer:
[tex]a = 3[/tex]
[tex]b = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]f(x) = 3(\frac{1}{5})^x[/tex] --- Missing from the question
Required
Identify a and b
The given equation is an exponential function and the general form is:
[tex]f(x) = ab^x[/tex]
When [tex]f(x) = ab^x[/tex] is compared to [tex]f(x) = 3(\frac{1}{5})^x[/tex]
We have that: [tex]a = 3[/tex] and [tex]b = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]
