wellll sorry i dont get it

aravindg · Answer

@him1618  told you what an exponential function is .

aravindg · Answer

If you didnt bother to go through that please take a look now..then tell us if you still have a problem we can help

anonymous · Answer

pick the one where the base (the number being raised to a power) is greater than 1
there is only one of them

anonymous · Answer

wait what? @satellite73

anonymous · Answer

are you saying it's D or i'm still not getting it? lol

anonymous · Answer

$$y=a\times b^x$$ is the general form 
for example in the first one you have 
$$y=4\times (.07)^x$$ so $a=4$ and $b=.07$
$b$ is the base, so in this example $.07$ is the base
since $.07<1$ this is not growth

anonymous · Answer

yes, it is D since you have 
$$y=6^x$$ and $6>1$
