it’s not an exponential function because it is a quadratic function
an exponential function is y=2^x
Answer:
Option C - Exponential function, base = x, initial value = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Function [tex]y=x^2[/tex]
To find : Decide if the function is an exponential function. If it is, state the initial value and the base.
Solution :
Exponential function: A function can be written in the form [tex]f(x)=ab^x[/tex]
where, [tex]a\neq 0[/tex] is the initial value and b is the base which is positive number other than 1.
Now, We have given [tex]y=x^2[/tex]
Yes, this function is an exponential function.
On comparing with general form,
Initial value is a=1 and base is b=x
Therefore, Option C is correct.
