Question

In the statement below, circle the correct word in each of the shaded segments

Answer 1

if y is positive, then as x increases, y will also increase

if y is negative, then, as x increases, y will tend to zero

STEP-BY-STEP FUNCTION

The general term of an exponential function is given as

`f(x)=a(b)^x`

Where b is the common ratio

Between 0 to 1, it is assumed that the common ratio will be in fraction

i.e., 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, etc

if x is negative, then the value of y will be decreased, and if x is positive the value of y will be increased as well. Therefore, the value of y will increase as x increases
