Determine whether the rule represents an exponential function. Explain why or why not. y = -12.4
Choose the correct answer below
O A. Since the independent variable x is not the exponent, y = - 12 -x4 does not represent an exponential function
B. Since the independent variable x is not the base y = - 12 - x4 does not represent an exponential function.
OC. Since the independent variable x is the base, y = - 12 - x4 does represent an exponential function.
D. Since the independent variable x is the exponent y = - 12.x represents an exponential function.
