Question
Mark raises guppies in an aquarium. He finds out that guppies reproduce very rapidly, and the number doubles every month. He starts out with only 10 guppies, and the function y=10(2^x) models the number of guppies he will have after x months. Which graph represents this function?
Answers

The graph representing the function y=10(2^x) would be exponential growth, starting at 10 guppies and doubling every month.
The correct graph would start at the point (0, 10) and then quickly increase exponentially, with the y-axis representing the number of guppies and the x-axis representing the number of months. The graph would never reach zero on the x-axis, as the number of guppies would continue to double every month.
The graph would look like a steep curve increasing upwards as x increases.
