Question

Decide if the function is an exponential function. If it is, state the initial value and the base. Y = - 7.4 ⋅ 6x

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, the function is an exponential function.

Initial value = -7.4 and base = 6

Explanation:

Exponential function: A function can be written in the form $f(x)=ab^x$

where a≠0 is the initial value and b (base) is the positive number other than 1.

Given: the function $Y = -7.4 \cdot 6^x$

Yes, the function is an exponential function.

On comparing with $f(x)=Y=ab^x$

∴Initial value of the function (a): -7.4

and

base of the function(b) is, 6.
