Warm Up

Here is a graph of a function f(x)=400·(0.2)xf(x)=400·(0.2)x.

A graph with x-axis labeled x and y-axis labeled y. The x-axis is labeled by tens from zero to 40 with additional grid marks on even numbers.    shows a curve rapidly decreasing from y = 1000 near x = 0, then leveling off close to y = 0 as x approaches 2.

1. Identify the approximate graphing window shown.

2. Suggest a new graphing window that would:

a. make the graph more informative or meaningful.

b. make the graph less informative or meaningful.
