Algebra-2

The correct statement is: C. It is always increasing.

The function is an exponential function. The base of the exponential, 7, is greater than 1, and the exponent is 2x, which is linear and increasing, the function is always increasing. As x increases, increases, making the entire function grow.

Option A, It passes through (0, 0).

Substitute x = 0 into the equation:

The function passes through (0, 3), not (0, 0), so this statement is false.

Option B, It has a horizontal asymptote at y = 3.

In this case, as
