Question

Which base would result in exponential decay

A. A base that is equal to 0

B. A base that is equal to 1

C. A base that is greater than 1

D. A base that is less than 1

Answer 1

ANSWER: is B. A base that is equal to 1

Answer 2

B. a base that is equal than 1

Explanation:

If f(x) = ax, then we call a the base of the exponential function. The base must always be positive. In fact, for any real number x, 1x = 1, so f(x)=1x is the same function as the constant function f(x) = 1.
