Question

Which of the following options represents a characteristic of an exponential equation?

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is (b) A constant with an exponent on it.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are to select the correct statement from the given options that represents a characteristic of an exponential function.

We know that an exponential function is a function of the form

$f(x)=b^x,$ where b ≠ 0.

Here 'b' is a constant and the variable 'x' is called an exponent. Also, if b > 0, then the function shows an exponential growth and if b < 0, then the function shows an exponential decay.

Thus, an exponential function involves a constant with an exponent on it.

Thus, (b) is the correct option.

Answer 2

A constant with an exponent on it is characteristic of an exponential equation.
