Question

Which set of ordered pairs could be generated by an exponential function ?

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The third choice is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The set of ordered pairs which could be generated by an exponential function is

$(1,\frac{1}{2}),(2,\frac{1}{4}),(3,\frac{1}{8}),(4,\frac{1}{16})$

If we examine the y-values of this set of ordered pairs, we can see that they have a common ratio of

$r=\frac{1}{4}\div \frac{1}{2}$

$r=\frac{1}{4}\times 2$

$r=\frac{1}{2}$

This makes it exponential.
