Question

Does the rule y = –3x^5 represent an exponential function? ...?

Answer 1

No, y=-3x^5 is not an exponential function

...Hope this cleared it up

Answer 2

Exponential function is a function whose value is a constant raised to the power of the argument, especially the function where the constant is e. The function given y=-3x^5 cannot be considered as an exponential function. Instead, it is a polynomial function with a degree of 5. Hope this answers the question.
