7.1-7.2 Graphs of Exponential Functions
2
Exponential Function Where base (b), b > 0, b 1, and x is any real number.
3
Graphs of Exponential Equations To see the basic shape of an exponential function such as make a table of values and plot points.
4
xy -2 0 1 2 3 1 2 4 8 Graph f(x) = 2 x
5
Notice the end behavior of the graph. As x → + ∞, f(x) → +∞, which means that the graph moves up to the right. As x → - ∞, f(x) → 0, which means that the graph has the line y=0 as an asymptote. An asymptote is a line that a graph approaches (gets close to) as you move away from the origin.
8
Exponential Growth Function: The graph passes through the point (0,a) [the y-intercept]. Have these characteristics… Where a > 0 and b > 1 The x-axis is an asymptote of the graph. The domain is all real numbers. The range is y > 0 if a > 0
9
Identify the y-intercept and asymptote State the domain and range
10
What do you think would happen to the shift of the graph? h determines the horizontal shift k determines the vertical shift
11
Domain: All Real Numbers Range: All Positive Real Numbers Domain: All Real Numbers Range: y > -3 Asymptote: y = -3 Asymptote: y = 0
12
Domain: All Real Numbers Range: y > 2 Domain: All Real Numbers Range: y > 1 Asymptote: y = 2 Asymptote: y = 1
13
Exponential Decay Function Where a > 0, base b is 0 < b < 1 (b is a fraction), and x is any real number.
14
Decide whether f(x) is an exponential growth or exponential decay function. Because 0 < b < 1 f is an exponential decay function Because b > 1 f is an exponential growth function 1) 2)
15
Graphs of Exponential Equations To see the basic shape of an exponential function such as make a table of values and plot points.
16

17
State the domain, range, make a table of values and graph the following
