An exponential growth function is one where the base (b) is greater than 1.
Out of the given options:
A. 5^-2 = 1/5^2 = 1/25, which is less than 1.
B. The square root of e is approximately 0.832, which is less than 1.
C. 1/square root of 2 = 1/√2 ≈ 0.707, which is less than 1.
D. 1-0.11 = 0.89, which is less than 1.
Therefore, none of the given options yield a value for b that satisfies the condition for an exponential growth function.
