Question 16 • Algebra 2 with Probability
For y = b^x with b > 1, increasing x makes y increase, so statement I is true. When x decreases, the positive values of b^x decrease toward 0, so statement IV is true. Statement II is false because when x = 1, y = b, not 0; the point (1, 0) is not on the graph. Therefore, the correct choice is I and IV.
