Advanced Math practice question

Which of the following points lies on the graph of f(x) = 3ˣ + 1 in the xy-plane?

  1. A. (0, 2)Correct
  2. B. (1, 3)
  3. C. (0, 1)
  4. D. (2, 7)

Answer: A. (0, 2)

f(0) = 3⁰ + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2.

Why the other answers are wrong

B. (1, 3)
f(1) = 3 + 1 = 4, not 3.
C. (0, 1)
f(0) = 2, not 1; the +1 shifts the graph up.
D. (2, 7)
f(2) = 9 + 1 = 10, not 7.
