Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
recall that for an exponential function in the form
f(x) = Aˣ
if 0 < A < 1, then as x increases, the function f(x) gets closer and closer to zero (i.e it approaches zero)
but
if A < 0, then as x increases, the function f(x) continues to grow bigger and bigger (i.e it approaches infinity)
Hence for a function to be increasing (i.e f(x) grows bigger and bigger), the value of A must be greater than 1.
If we look at all our choices, only 1 choice has the value of A greater than one, which is choice C.
