Which set of ordered pairs could be generated by an exponential function?
2 answers:
Answer: Third option.
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition, Exponential functions have the following form:
Where "b" is the base ( and
), "a" is a coefficient (
) and "x" is the exponent.
It is importat to remember that the "Zero exponent rule" states that any base with an exponent of 0 is equal to 1.
Then, for an input value 0 () the output value (value of "y") of the set of ordered pairs that could be generated by an exponential function must be 1 (
).
You can observe in the Third option shown in the image that when ,
Therefore, the set of ordered pairs that could be generated by an exponential function is the set shown in the Third option.

We see here in the diagram that the base is a. We know this because the height is perpendicular to it. We also know the height is bsin(C) which, when replace h for bsin(C) and a for the base, we get A=absin(C), which is the second option.
