Answer

Since the question only asks for the first question, we can conclude that the correct function for the given graph is either (A) or (B).

Steps

Step 1 :First, we need to analyze the given exponential functions and their graphs.

Step 2 :(A) $f(x)=-3^{x}$: The graph of this function will be a reflection of the graph of $3^x$ across the x-axis.

Step 3 :(B) $f(x)=3^{x}$: The graph of this function will be an increasing exponential curve.

Step 4 :(C) $f(x)=-3^{x}$: This is the same as option (A), so the graph will also be a reflection of the graph of $3^x$ across the x-axis.

Step 5 :(D) $f(x)=3^{x}$: This is the same as option (B), so the graph will also be an increasing exponential curve.

Step 6 :Since the question only asks for the first question, we can conclude that the correct function for the given graph is either (A) or (B).
