Answer :

The equation which is not exponential is the  first one: y = 1^x.
The reason for this is because 1 to the power of anything is still one, which means the equation is linear, and not exponential. The rest of these equations are indeed exponential.

Answer:

[tex]y=1^x[/tex] is not exponential function.

A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: [tex]y=ab^x[/tex]

We need to choose exponential equation. The property of exponential equation.

Possible value of b

If b>1 then exponential growth

If 0<b<1 then exponential decay

Option 1: [tex]y=1^x[/tex]

Compare with exponential equation

[tex]1^x=ab^x[/tex]

[tex]b\rightarrow 1[/tex]

It is not exponential function.

Option 2: [tex]y=(\frac{1}{2})^x[/tex]

Compare with exponential equation

[tex](\frac{1}{2})^x^x=ab^x[/tex]

[tex]b\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

It is decay exponential function.

Option 3: [tex]y=-2^x[/tex]

Compare with exponential equation

[tex]-2^x=ab^x[/tex]

[tex]b\rightarrow 2[/tex]

It is Growth exponential function.

Hence, [tex]y=1^x[/tex] is not exponential function.
