Given: y=5x
Rewrite as: y=1(5)x
For a. function, y=abx,
- the function represents exponential growth if a > 0 and b > 1.
- the function represents exponential decay if a > 0 and b < 1.
In either case, the y-intercept is (0,2).
From the given, a = 1 and b = 5. Becatise a > 0 and b > 1, then the function represents an exponential growth and the y-intercept is (0,1)
