b False. For example, when a = 2 , the
function f(x) = ax is not an increasing
function.

5 c The graph is a translation by the 6 Substitute the coordinates into y = kax.
0 6 = ka1 (equation 1)
vector . 48 = ka4 (equation 2)
4 Solve simultaneously: divide equation
The graph crosses the y-axis when 2 by equation 1,
x = 0.
y = 30 − 4 ka4
48 ÷ 6 =
So y = −3 ka
The graph crosses the y-axis at (0, −3). a3 = 8
Asymptote is at y = −4. a = 2, k = 3
7 a As x increases, y decreases
