Question

The value of the _____ determines whether the graph of an exponential function increases or decreases from left to right.

Answer 1

The missing expression is 'b'.

Explanation:

We have been given an incomplete sentence. We are supposed to fill in the given blank.

Sentence:

The value of the _____ determines whether the graph of an exponential function increases or decreases from left to right.

We know that an exponential function is in form
`y=a\cdot b^x`, where,

a = Initial value,

b = For growth
`b>1` and for decay
`b<1`.

Therefore, the value of 'b' determines whether the graph of an exponential function increases or decreases from left to right.

Answer 2

the value of the exponential function determines weather the graph of an exponential function increases or decreases from left to right.
