The graph of function f shows that as x increases, f^xh also increases, which means that f is an increasing function. The graph of function f is curved upward and increases at an increasing rate, not a constant rate. This behavior is characteristic of exponential functions, not linear functions. Therefore, of the given choices, function f is best described as increasing exponential. Choice A is incorrect. For a decreasing function, as x increases, f^xh decreases rather than increases. Choice C is incorrect. For a decreasing function, as x increases, f^xh decreases rather than increases, and the graph of a linear function isn’t curved. Choice D is incorrect. The graph of a linear function isn’t curved.</p>","correct_answer":["B"],"has_media":false,"has_mathml":false,"has_table":false,"source_created_at":null,"source_updated_at":null,"options":[{"label":"A","content_html":"<p>Decreasing exponential</p>","ord":0},{"label":"B","content_html":"<p>Increasing exponential</p>","ord":1},{"label":"C","content_html":"<p>Decreasing linear</p>","ord":2},{"label":"D","content_html":"<p>Increasing linear</p>","ord":3}],"attribution":{"source_id":"cb_practice_pdf","source_name":"College Board full-length SAT practice tests (PDF)","rights_holder":"College Board","canonical_url":"https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/practice/practice-tests/paper","retrieved_from":"https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/practice/practice-tests/paper","attribution":"Full-length SAT practice tests 4–11 © College Board, published free at satsuite.collegeboard.org.","disclaimer":"Extracted from PDF layout: equations, figures and tables do not survive intact.
