Question

(Q2) Decide if the function is an exponential function. If it is, state the initial value and the base. y=5^x

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We can figure out the initial value and base of an exponential function if the function is written in the form  $y=a*b^x$  where

a is the initial value, and

b is the base

Note: a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 1

Our equation given can be written in this form by writing it like  $y=5^x\\y=1*5^x$

Thus, this is an exponential function. The initial value is 1 and the base is 5.

The correct answer is  B
