Question

True or false: If a is any positive real number, the graph of y=a^x will go through the point (0,1).
True or false: x^3+2x^2 is an exponential equation because it contains exponents.
I got true for both of them is that right?

Answer 1

true, false

if x has powers, it is a polynomial.
If x <u>is</u> the power, it is an exponential, as in e^x

polynomials have constant powers of a variable.

exponentials have variable powers of a constant.
