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.
