Exponential functions exhibit exponential growth (or decay). What does this mean to the graphs of these functions?

Exponential growth or decay means the function’s value changes by a constant factor over equal intervals, so its graph rises or falls increasingly rapidly. This is the idea described by choice A: the graph changes more dramatically than a polynomial graph. Exponential graphs are two-dimensional, and the exponent does not have to be less than one.
