QuestionIdentify the incorrect characteristic of an exponential function: A. Domain: all reals, B. Passes through $(0,1)$, C. Through origin, D. Range: $y>0$.

Studdy Solution
The origin is the point $(0,0)$. For an exponential function of the form $f(x) = a^x$, when $x =0$, $f(x) = a^0 =1$. So, an exponential function does not pass through the origin. Therefore, option C is the answer.
The characteristic that is not true for an exponential parent function is that it goes through the origin.
