Question

Exponential functions exhibit exponential growth (or decay). What does this mean to the graphs of these functions?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option a is correct.

Exponential functions exhibit exponential growth (or decay) which mean the graph will rise or fall more dramatically than a polynomial graph

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function is in the form of $y =ab^x$ where a≠0  is a y-intercepts and  b is a positive number other than 1, multiplier this base is constant  , x  is the independent variable  and y is the dependent variable.

Exponential growth:

• If b > 1

• when x increases, y increases at a increasing rate .

Exponential decay:

• if b is between 0 and 1 i.e, 0 <b< 1

• when  x increases, y decreases at a increasing rate .

therefore, the graph will rise or fall more dramatically than a polynomial graph
