A continuous function y=f(x)y=f(x) satisfies the following properties: (i) f(0)=1f(0)=1; (ii) f(x)>0f(x)>0 for all real xx; (iii) lim⁡x→∞f(x)=∞\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty}f(x)=\infty and lim⁡x→−∞f(x)=0\displaystyle \lim_{x\to -\infty}f(x)=0; (iv) f(a+b)=f(a) f(b)f(a+b)=f(a)\,f(b) for all real numbers aa and bb. Based on these conditions, f(x)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
