EXPONENTIAL
FUNCTION What is an
Exponential Function?
2
It can be written in the form where , and x is
any real number. b is a contant called the base
and x is an independent variable called the
exponent.

PROPERTIES OF AN EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION
▪ The domain is the set of real numbers.
▪ The range is the set of positive real numbers.
▪ If , f is increasing exponential function. If , f is a decreasing exponential
function
▪ The function passes through point (0,1) because any number raised to 0
will be 1.
▪ The graph approaches but does not reach the x-axis. The axis is the
horizontal asymptote.
