Question

Here is an interesting exponential function, y=1x. Complete the table with the integer values of x from 0-4, Then graph the function please. Also does the graph show exponential growth, exponential decay, or neither?

Answer 1

A) You have to substitute each value of "x" given in the table, into the function f(x)=1^x. Then, you have:

1. When x=0

f(x)=1^x
f(0)=1^0=1

2. When x=1

f(x)=1^x
f(1)=1^1=1

3. When x=2

f(x)=1^x
f(2)=1^2=1

4. When x=3

f(x)=1^x
f(3)=1^3=1

5. When x=4

f(x)=1^x
f(4)=1^4=1

B) You have now the values of "x" and "y", so, you can plot each point, as you can see in the graph attached.

C) As you can see in the graph attached, the exponential function f(x)=1^x, does not decrease and it does not growth. Therefore, the answer is "neither".
