Advanced Math practice question

In the xy-plane, the graph of y = 2ˣ − 1 passes through which of the following points?

  1. A. (0, 0)Correct
  2. B. (0, 1)
  3. C. (1, 2)
  4. D. (2, 4)

Answer: A. (0, 0)

2⁰ − 1 = 0.

Why the other answers are wrong

B. (0, 1)
(0, 1) lies on y = 2ˣ, before the shift.
C. (1, 2)
(1, 2) lies on y = 2ˣ.
D. (2, 4)
(2, 4) lies on y = 2ˣ.
