Question 28 • Mathematics I

Which is a stretch of an exponential growth function?

Answer
A
f of x is equal to 3 halves times 2 thirds to the x th power
B
f of x is equal to 3 halves times 3 halves to the x th power
C
f of x is equal to 2 thirds times 2 thirds to the x th power
D
f of x is equal to 2 thirds times 3 halves to the x th power

Explanation

An exponential growth function has a base greater than 1, and a vertical stretch has a coefficient greater than 1 in front. Choice B is f(x) = (3/2)(3/2)^x: its base is 3/2, so it grows, and its coefficient 3/2 stretches the graph vertically.
