Question

Determine whether the rule represents an exponential function. Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Parent Function: $f(x)= a(b^{x})$

If we write out the equation:

$y = 6(5)^{x}$

Whenever we have an exponent of x, it is a exponential function. The 5 is simply the base of the exponent and the 6 means we are vertically stretching the graph by a factor of 6.
