Question

Please help. Does the rule y = 4 * 4^x represent a linear or an exponential function? Explain.

Answer 1

When you graph out y = 4*4^x, you'll see that a curve results and NOT a straight line. So y = 4*4^x is NOT a linear function.

Answer 2

So by the process of elimination, this is an exponential function.

It turns out that y = 4 * 4^x is an exponential function since it's in the form y = a*b^x where a and b are constants

Answer 3

Thank you so much!
