Feature
The exponential function f left-parenthesis x right-parenthesis equals 2 superscript x baseline is graphed on the coordinate plane. The graph starts just above the x-axis and curves upward forever, passing through left-parenthesis 0 comma 1 right-parenthesis.
Question
Use the graph to answer the question.

Which type of parent function is graphed on the coordinate plane?
(1 point)
Responses

a parent exponential function with a base between 0 and 1
a parent exponential function with a base between 0 and 1

a parent logarithmic function with a base greater than 1
a parent logarithmic function with a base greater than 1

a parent logarithmic function with a base between 0 and 1
a parent logarithmic function with a base between 0 and 1

1 answer

The graph described represents the exponential function \( f(x) = 2^x \). Since the base (2) is greater than 1, the correct response to the question would be:

a parent exponential function with a base greater than 1.
