Answer

False

Work Step by Step

The exponential function $f$ with base $b$ is defined by, $f(x)=b^x$ or $y=b^x$ where $b$ is a positive constant other than $1(b>0, b\ne 1)$ and $x$ is any real number. Thus, $10^x=5.71,$ and $e^x=0.72$ are exponential equations, while $x^{10}=5.71$ is a polynomial equation with degree $10$. The given statement is false. A correct form would be: Examples of exponential equations include $10^x=5.71, e^x=0.72$ and $10^x=7$.
