Answer 1

To determine if an exponential function is positive or negative and increasing or decreasing, we need to look at the value of the base of the exponential function.

1. If the base is greater than 1, the exponential function will be positive and increasing.
2. If the base is between 0 and 1, the exponential function will be positive and decreasing.
3. If the base is less than 0 and not equal to -1, the exponential function will be negative and increasing.
4. If the base is between -1 and 0 (excluding 0), the exponential function will be negative and decreasing.

Unfortunately, without a specific exponential function or values for the base, it is not possible to provide a more specific response.
