Complete question is;
Which of these is an exponential parent function?
A. f(x) = x
B. f(x) = 2^(x)
C. f(x) = x²
D. f(x) = |x|
Answer:
B. f(x) = 2^(x)
Explanation:
> In option A, f(x) = x
This function depicts a straight line with intercept as 0 and slope as 1.
> In option C, f(x) = x²
This function depicts a parabola open up since the leading coefficient is greater than 0.
> In option D: f(x) = |x|
This function depicts a straight line y = x for x > 0 and y = -x for x < 0
In option B f(x) = 2^(x)
This function depicts an exponential function because the x is in the exponent form with a base of 2.
