Question

is y=5^w an exponential function if so state the initial value and the base if not then which type of function is it

Answer 1

By using the property of exponential function, the results obtained are

Base of the function is 5.

Initial value of the function is close to zero.

What are exponent?

Exponent tells us how many times a number is multiplied by itself.

For example : In $2^4 = 2\times 2\times 2\times 2$

Here, 2 is multiplied by itself 4 times.

If $a^m = a \times a\times a....\times a$ (m times), a is the base and m is the index.

Here,

$y = 5^w$ is an exponential function.

The base of the function is 5.

As $x \rightarrow -\infty$, the function tends to 0

So the initial value of the function is close to zero.
