Exponential function f(x) has a y intercept of 3 and an x intercept of -2. the function is always increasing as the value of x increases, but the function never reaches y=4

would it be decreasing or increasing and will it point down or up?
plz answer asap

The exponential function is increasing and is concave down

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of exponential function be

1. Exponential function f(x) has a y intercept of 3, so the graph of f(x) passes through the point (0,3). Thus,

2. Exponential function f(x) has an x intercept of -2, so the graph of f(x) passes through the point (-2,0). Thus,

3. Function is always increasing as the value of x increases, but the function never reaches y=4, so

Hence,

So,

maximum area = xy = (16)(32) = 512 ft2

to maximize the area of the garden, the side of the fence parallel to the side of the house should be 32 ft long, and the other two sides should both have length 16 ft.'
