Question 9 • Algebra: Concepts and Connections

Which expressions represent exponential growth? Choose three correct answers.

Answer

1 point 2 to the t th power
B
2 x squared minus 17
C
3000 times 0 point 1 2 to the y th power
D
300 times 1 point 2 raised to the 2 y power
E
4 y plus 3
F
1 point 1 2 to the x th power plus 67
G
0 point 2 to the t th power

Explanation

Exponential growth occurs when the variable is in the exponent and the exponential base is greater than 1. In A, the base is 2; in D, 1.2 raised to 2y is equivalent to 1.44 raised to y; and in F, the base is 1.12. The added 67 in F does not change its growth pattern.
