1. Do Now: State the domain of the function.

2. Academy Algebra II 7.1, 7.2: Graph Exponential Growth and Decay Functions HW: p.482 (6, 10, 16-22 even), p.489 (16, 18, 22)

3. Asymptote An asymptote is a line that a graph approaches more and more closely. An asymptote is a line that a graph approaches more and more closely.

4. Asymptote: Line y = 0. The graph passes through: (0, 1) & (1, b). Example: y = 2 x contains: (0, 1) & (1, 2)

5. This graph is a vertical stretch or shrink. (When a is negative it reflects over x-axis.) The graph passes through points: (0, a) & (1, ab). If b > 1: exponential growth. If 1 > b > 0: exponential decay.

8. Graph Translate the graph horizontally h units and vertically k units. Asymptote: Line y = k
