UNIT 5: Graphing Exponential Functions a = original amount (y-intercept) b = growth factor (1 ± r) r = rate (percent) y = final amount x = unit of measure (time, bounces, etc.) Exponential Growth Exponential Decay End Behavior: End Behavior: Math 3 Hon: Unit 5
Things to know about b cannot be negative b > 1: 0 < b < 1: DOMAIN of all exponential functions is: all real numbers (no restrictions for x) RANGE of exponential functions: Positive “a” Negative “a” Y – INTERCEPT = a y-values follow multiply or divide patterns
Identifying Growth & Decay: What is the factor v. rate? b) c) d) e) f)
