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

b

Explanation:

Answer 2

B

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
