Q. If

y=1.8^{x}+1

is graphed in the

xy

-plane, which of the following characteristics of the graph is displayed as a constant or coefficient in the equation?

\newline

Choose

1

answer:

\newline

(A)

y

-intercept

\newline

(B)

x

-intercept

\newline

(C) Slope

\newline

(D) The value

y

approaches as

x

decreases

Identify constant term: Identify the constant term in the equation $y=1.8^{x}+1$ . $\newline$ The constant term in the equation is $+1$ . This term does not depend on the value of $x$ and is added to the value of $1.8^{x}$ for all $x$ .
Significance in graph: Determine the significance of the constant term in the context of the graph. $\newline$ The constant term in an exponential function like $y=1.8^{(x)}+1$ represents the vertical shift of the graph. In this case, the graph is shifted up by $1$ unit.
Relate to characteristics: Relate the constant term to the characteristics of the graph provided in the choices. $\newline$ The constant term affects the $y$ -intercept of the graph. The $y$ -intercept is the point where the graph crosses the $y$ -axis, which occurs when $x=0$ . Plugging $x=0$ into the equation $y=1.8^{(x)}+1$ gives $y=1.8^{(0)}+1$ , which simplifies to $y=1+1$ , or $y=2$ . This shows that the $y$ -intercept of the graph is $y$ $0$ , and it is directly given by the constant term $y$ $1$ in the equation.
