General Idea:
The exponential function will be of the form
.
When b>1, the function indicates the exponential growth.
When 0<b<1, the function indicates the exponential decay.
Applying the concept:
We are given the graph of
, here b = 2.
The question ask the characteristic of the function when b is in the interval
. The attached figure shows few graphs of exponential function whose b value is less than 2 and greater than 1. We can notice that graph increases at slower rate, that is change in y with respect to change in x is getting slower as we reduce the values of b less than 2 and greater than 1.
Conclusion:
"The graph will increase at a slower rate"
1 x 4 < 1 + 4 <==== 1 and 4
