An exponential function has: A. a straight line that can be increasing or decreasing.
B. a curved line that can be increasing or decreasing.
C. U-shaped curved lines that increase then decrease or decrease then increase.
D. None of these choices are correct.

Answer B is the correct one: a curved line that can be increasing or decreasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential functions are one-to-one functions, which means that cannot have a U shape. Also, they are not a straight line, since they grow of decrease exponentially (based on a fixed numerical base with the variable as the exponent) They can represent exponential growth showing a curve with increasing values as we move from left to right, or can represent exponential decay showing a curve with decreasing values as we move from left to right.
