Determine if the function f is an exponential function. If so, identify the base. If not, why not?

f(x) = xe

The base is e.
The base is x.
This is an exponential function because there is an e in the general form.
This is not an exponential function because there is no variable in the exponent position

Hey, e is just a number... it's irrational but still just a number. So what you wrote is really just another form of:

f(x) = 3x.

Is that exponential?

If true, that's entirely different than what I said. lol
