Exponential functions have the form f(x)=b^x. what type of an exponential function would you have (increasing or decreasing) if the value of b is greater than one?

The function keep increasing for the varying value of x, hence the exponential function is increasing

Given the exponential function f(x) =

We are to check if the function is increasing or decreasing if b is greater than 1

Let b = 2 and x = 1

Let b = 2 when x = 2

Let b = 2 when x = 3

You can see that the function keep increasing for the varying value of x, hence the exponential function is increasing

Increasing

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's see what happens if we choose a value for b greater than 1.

Let's try b=2.

.

I'm going to keep increasing x. If y increases, the the function is increasing. If y decreases, the function is decreasing.

Let's start with x=1.

Now x=2.

The y's got higher as you increased x so the function is increasing.

a - base

b - exponent

so,
