Q. 128 - Precalculus Enhanced with Graphing Utilities

Question

As the base a of an exponential function $f\left(x\right)= a^x$, where $a>1$ increases, what happens to the behavior of its graph for$x>o ?$ What happens to the behavior of its graph for $x<0 ?$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

part (a) slope of graph will increase 

part (b) slope of graph will decrease 

Part (a) Step 1 ; Giving information y &#160; = &#160; a x &#160; a n d &#160; x &#62; 0 &#160;

Part (b) Step 1 Giving information y &#160; = &#160; a x &#160; &#160; a n d &#160; &#160; x &#60; 0
