True or False
The graph of the exponential function $f (x) = a^{x}$ , where $a > 0$ and $a \neq 1$ , has no $x -$ intercept.

Short Answer

Expert verified

True. The graph of the exponential function $f (x) = a^{x}$ has no $x -$ intercept.

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given

An exponential function $f (x) = a^{x}$

To find the $x -$ intercept.

Step 2. Finding x-intercept

For the exponential function, there are no $x -$ intercepts and the $y -$ intercept is one.

So the given statement is true.
