Expert Solution
Step 1

The given graph of the function is continuous as all the points are connected with a continuous line. It is a smooth curve with no discontinuity and thus the function is continuous.

The y- intercept is (0, 0.75)

An exponential function is given as

fx=bx

For an exponential growth function, as the value of x increases , the output value, fx also increases and as x decreases, the output value decreases and will be approaching zero. 

For an exponential decay function, as the value of x increases, the output value ,fx  decreases and will be approaching zero .

From the given graph, it is observed that as the value of x increases , the output is increasing rapidly.
