In exponential growth functions, the base of the exponent

must be greater than 1. How would the function change if
the base of the exponent were 1? How would the
function change if the base of the exponent were
between 0 and 1?

Explanation:

Since 1 to the power of anything is still 1, as the value of the exponent changed, 1^(new exponent) would still be 1, so we would just keep the original value

For a value between 0 and 1, value^(exponent) decreases as the exponent increases. For example, 0.5 ^ 4 < 0.5^2. Therefore, as the exponent would increase, the value obtained would decrease
