Recall that a number a, such that


0<p>to the power of x is smaller than a. In other words as x increases </p>[tex]a^x,

decreases. If a>1, then


a^x,

increases.

From the given options, the only base number that is greater than 1 is:


(7)/(5).

Therefore:


((7)/(5))^x

is an increasing function.

Answer: Third option.
