Question

HELP PLEASE The graph of an exponential function of the form y = f(x) = ax passes through the points ______ and _______. The graph lies_____ the x-axis.

Answer 1

1). (0, 1)

2). (1, a)

3). Above

Explanation:

This question is not complete; here is the complete question.

The graph of an exponential function of the form y = f(x) =
`a^(x)` passes through the points 1). and 2). . The graph lies 3). x-axis.

1). (0.a), (0,1), (0,2), (0,-1)

2). (1,0), (1,1), (1,a), (1,-2)

3). (above), (below), (on the)

Given exponential function is f(x) =
`a^(x)`

1). For x = 0,

f(0) =
`a^(0)` = 1

Therefore, the given exponential function passes through a point (0, 1).

2). For x = 1,

f(1) =
`a^(1)`

f(1) = a

Therefore, graph of the exponential function passes through (1, a)

3).For y = 0

0 =
`a^(x)`

But for any value of 'x', f(x) will never be zero. Therefore, there is no x-intercept.

The graph lies above the x-axis.
