On a coordinate plane, an exponential function has a horizontal asymptote of y = 0. The function curves up into the first quadrant. It goes through (0, 3), (0.5, 5), (1, 10), (1.5, 23), (2, 50). The given graph represents the function f(x) = 2(5)x. How will the appearance of the graph change if the a value in the function is decreased, but remains greater than 0? The graph will increase at a slower rate. The graph will show a decreasing, rather than increasing, function. The graph will show an initial value that is lower on the y-axis. The graph will increase at a constant additive rate, rather than a multiplicative rate.

Answer:

The graph will show an initial value that is lower on the y-axis

Explanation:

The exponential function has the next general form:


y = ab^x

where a is the initial amount and b is the base.

If the a value in the function is decreased, but remains greater than 0, the y-intercept of the curve decrease.
