Warm-up: Write the explicit and recursive rule for the sequence: 2, 6, 18, 54, … The first term of a geometric sequence is -3, and the common ratio is -2. What is the 9th term?
Graphing and Characteristics of Exponentials
Transformations
Describe the transformation. Up 2 Down 5 Left 1
Describe the transformation. Right 3 Reflect across the x-axis (flips) Up 2 and stretched by a scale factor of 3
Domain and Range
Domain ALL REAL NUMBERS
Range Use k If a is positive then If a is negative then
Identify the domain and range.
y = k Asymptote A line that a graph approaches but will never touch Horizontal, Dashed line
Identify the asymptote of the graph of the function. the x-axis
X-Intercept: (#, 0) - Where the graph crosses the x-axis Y-Intercept: (0, #) - Where the graph crosses the Y-axis
Read from left to right! Increasing: up from left to right Decreasing: down from left to right
