Laws of Exponents - Review
Exponential Functions An exponential function is a function of the form: where a is a positive real number (b > 0) and b ≠ 1. x y x y f (x) = 2x f (x) = 5x f (x) = 2x f (x) = (1/2)x f (x) = (1/5)x f (x) = (1/2)x
Properties of Exponential Functions Domain/Range Intercepts Asymptotes Inc or Dec Common Points Other Domain: (-∞,∞) Range: (0,∞) x-int: None y-int: (0,1) y = 0 as x -∞ y = 0 as x ∞ Increasing and 1-to-1 Decreasing and 1-to-1 Graph is smooth/continuous (no corners/gaps)
