The graph is modeled after the equation y=ab^x

How did the value of a affect the graph? How about the value of b? In 1 sentence

1 answer

The value of \( a \) determines the initial value or starting point of the graph along the y-axis, while the value of \( b \) affects the growth or decay rate of the graph, influencing its steepness and direction (exponential growth if \( b > 1 \) and exponential decay if \( 0 < b < 1 \)).
