Does the rule (posted below) represent a linear or an exponential function? Explain.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=4 \times4^{x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk why it says m its supposed to be a x by the 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know its a exponential function but idk how to explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exponential function linear is y = mx , m any number experiential y = a^x , a any number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its for sure exponential function and it goes with the experiential one?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

He made a typo, it's exponential. When ever you have \(a^x\), a constant having power of x then it's exponential. x or 2x or 3x and so on. All are exponential functions

ok thank you so much
