Multiple Choice

Decide if the function is an exponential function. If it is, state the initial value and the base.
- $$y = 8 ^ { x }$$

A) Exponential Function; base $= 8$ ; initial value $= 0$
B) Exponential Function; base $= 8$ ; initial value $= 1$
C) Exponential Function; base $= x$ ; initial value $= 8$
D) Not an exponential function
