MTH55_Lec-54_sec_8-5a_PolyNom_InEqual.ppt 14 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Exponential Fcn Properties  Let f(x) = a x, a > 0, a ≠ 1. Then F.The graph f(x) = a x has no x-intercepts In other words, the graph of f(x) = a x never crosses the x-axis. Put another way, there is no value of x that will cause f(x) = a x to equal 0 G.The x-axis is a horizontal asymptote for every exponential function of the form f(x) = a x.
