Answer:

B) A herd of lions whose numbers triple every decade.

Step-by-step explanation:

Situations that can be modeled by exponential functions:

A situation can be modeled by exponential functions when the change is a multiplication or a division, not a sum or subtractions.

In this question:

In option A, C and D the measures are a sum or subtractions, as the rate of change is always the same. So it rests option B as the answer, as tripling is multiplying by 3.

You have to consider the “ends” of the x-axis, the far right (for infinitely large values of x) and left (for infinitely small values of x) of the graph.

From the diagram above you can see that:

When $x\rightarrow -\infty,$ then $y=f(x)\rightarrow 1$ (notice that as the values of x get smaller and smaller, the graph gets closer and closer to the line y=1);
When $x\rightarrow \infty,$ then $y=f(x)\rightarrow 1.$ (notice that as the values of x get larger and larger, the graph gets closer and closer to the line y=1).
