Answer:
An exponential function is given by:
\(y = ab^x\) ......[1]
where,
a is the initial amount.
If b > 1, then this is exponentially growth function.
If 0<b<1, then this is exponentially decay function.
As per the statement:
Given the function:
\(y = (5.2)^x\)
On comparing with equation [1] we have;
a = 1 and b = 5.2
Since, b = 5.2 > 1
⇒the given function is exponentially growth function.
therefore, the function \(y = (5.2)^x\) represents exponentially growth function.
