Question

Does the rule y=-5x^6 represent an exponential function

Answer 1

no

Explanation:

because a exponential function would have a variable in the place of 6

Answer 2

No

Explanation:

Exponential functions are functions that have a variable in the exponent.

Ex: y = 2^x

Ex: y = e^(-3x)

y = 5x^6 does not have a variable in the exponent, this is a 6th power function.
