A continuous function y=f(x) satisfies the following properties:
(i) f(0)=1;
(ii) f(x)>0 for all real x;
(iii) x→∞limf(x)=∞ and x→−∞limf(x)=0;
(iv) f(a+b)=f(a)f(b) for all real numbers a and b.
Based on these conditions, f(x) is most likely an example of which parent function?
a) Logarithmic function
b) Exponential function
c) Quadratic function
d) Modulus (absolute‐value) function
