Answer:

The graph of an exponential function of the form y = f(x) = aˣ passes through the points (0, 1) and (1, a). The graph lies above the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

[tex]y=f(x)=a^x[/tex]

Put x=0 in the given function,

[tex]y=a^0[/tex]

[tex]y=1[/tex]                 [tex](\because x^0=1)[/tex]

Put x=1 in the given function,

[tex]y=a^1[/tex]

[tex]y=a[/tex]

Therefore graph of an exponential function of the form y = f(x) = aˣ passes through the points (0, 1) and (1, a).

It is an positive exponential function, therefore the value of function will always remains positive. So, the graph lies above the x-axis.
