Advanced Math practice question
Which of the following functions has a graph in the xy-plane that rises more and more steeply as x increases?
- A. y = 3ˣCorrect
- B. y = 3x
- C. y = 3
- D. y = x + 3
Answer: A. y = 3ˣ
An exponential with base greater than 1 grows faster and faster.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. y = 3x
- A line rises at a constant rate.
- C. y = 3
- A horizontal line does not rise.
- D. y = x + 3
- A line rises at a constant rate.
