Which of the following represents the graph of f(x) = 3x ?

Question

Choose one answer. 

A. graph begins in the second quadrant near the x axis and increases slowly while crossing the ordered pair 0, 1. The graph then begins to increase quickly throughout the first quadrant.

 

B. graph begins in the second quadrant and decreases quickly while crossing the ordered pair 0, 1. The graph then begins to decrease slowly throughout the first quadrant.

 

C. graph begins in the second quadrant and decreases quickly while crossing the ordered pair 0, negative 1. The graph then begins to decrease slowly throughout the fourth quadrant as it approaches the line y equals negative 2.

 

D. graph begins in the second quadrant near the line equals negative 2 and increases slowly while crossing the ordered pair 0, negative 1. The graph then begins to increase quickly throughout the first quadrant.

Answer 1

If you mean f(x) = 3^x, then the answer is A.

 

If you mean f(x) = 3x, then none of the answers is correct, since the graph of f(x) = 3x goes through the point (0, 0), not (0, 1) or

(0, -1).
