Answer:
Option C) It goes through the origin.
This is the wrong statement about the parent exponential function.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following:
The characteristic of exponential parent function:
[tex]f(x) = y = b^x\\\text{where b is the base}[/tex]
A) True
The range is all positive number that is y > 0
Range can never be negative.
B) True
The domain is all real number.
C) False
It does not pass through origin.
[tex]y = f(0) = b^0 = 1[/tex]
D) True
It always passes through (0,1) as shown above.
