Question
In Exercises 1–6, which of the following are exponential functions? For those that are exponential functions, state the initial value and the base. For those that are not, explain why not.$$y=3^{x}$$
Step 1
An exponential function is defined as a function where the variable is in the exponent and the base is a constant. Looking at the function $y=3^{x}$, we can see that the base is 3 (a constant) and the exponent is x (a variable). Therefore, this function is an Show more…
