Decide if the function is an exponential function. If it is, state the initial value and the base.
-$$y = 9 ^ { 3 }$$
A) Exponential Function; base $= 9$; initial value $= 0$
B) Exponential Function; base $= 3$; initial value $= 0$
C) Not an exponential function
D) Exponential Function; base $= 9$; initial value $= 1$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given function $y = 9^3$ is not an exponential function because it represents a constant value (729) and does not involve a variable exponent.
