Expert Solution
Step 1

Consider  the function

Calculus homework question answer, step 1, image 1

 

Step 2

Exponential function:

A function of the form Calculus homework question answer, step 2, image 1 where Calculus homework question answer, step 2, image 2is called exponential function.

 

The given function is written as:

Calculus homework question answer, step 2, image 3

 On comparison with  Calculus homework question answer, step 2, image 4

Calculus homework question answer, step 2, image 5 

here a,b>0 and b is not equal to 1

So the function  is Calculus homework question answer, step 2, image 6 an exponential function.
