HELP PLEASE The graph of an exponential function of the form y = f(x) = ax passes through the points and . The graph lies the x-axis.

1). (0, 1)

2). (1, a)

3). Above

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is not complete; here is the complete question.

The graph of an exponential function of the form y = f(x) = passes through the points 1).               and 2).              . The graph lies 3).             x-axis.

1). (0.a), (0,1), (0,2), (0,-1)

2). (1,0), (1,1), (1,a), (1,-2)

3). (above), (below), (on the)

Given exponential function is f(x) =

1). For x = 0,

  f(0) = = 1

  Therefore, the given exponential function passes through a point (0, 1).

2). For x = 1,

  f(1) =

  f(1) = a

  Therefore, graph of the exponential function passes through (1, a)

3).For y = 0

  0 =

  But for any value of 'x', f(x) will never be zero. Therefore, there is no x-intercept.

  The graph lies above the x-axis.

the correct answer is 5

5/12, or 5: 12
