Question

Here is an interesting exponential function,

y=1^x.
Complete the table with integer values of x from 0 to 4. Then graph the function.

Does the graph show exponential growth, exponential decay, or neither? Explain your thinking.

Answer 1

The number 1 raised to any number will always equal 1.

So the Y values in the chart are all 1.

Then the plot would be a straight horizontal line at Y1, so it is neither growth or decay.
