Question

The value of the _____ determines whether the graph of an exponential function increases or decreases from left to right.

Answer 1

I would imagine its the value of the base (b)
in equations like \[f(x) = b^{x}\]
if b > 1 then the equation increases from left to right.
if 0 < b < 1 then the equation decreases from left to right.
if b = 1 you got lucky lol
