Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the numerators for the numerator and multiply the denominators for its denominator and reduce the fraction obtained after multiplication into lowest term.
Or, You can simply reduce the fraction with 2, which results to 1.
Hope I helped!

The option are missing in the question. The options are :
A. P = 2, a = 1
B.
C.
D. P = 2, a = 3
Solution :
The given function is
So for the function to be an exponential growth, a should be a positive number and should be larger than 1. If it less than 1 or a fraction, then it is a decay. If the value of a is negative, then it would be between positive and negative alternately.
When the four option being substituted in the function, we get
A). It is a constant function since
B). Here, the value of a is a fraction which is less than 1, so it is a decay function.
C). It is a constant function since the value of a is 1.
D). Here a = 3. So substituting, as the value of x increases by 1, the value of the function, f(x) increases by 3 times.
Therefore, option (D). represents an exponential function.
