This document discusses exponential functions and exponential equations. An exponential function is of the form f(x) = ax, where a is the base and must be greater than 0. Exponential equations set two exponential expressions equal to each other. They can be solved by applying properties like when bases are the same, the exponents are equal, and when bases differ, logarithms can be used. Exponential inequalities involve a variable exponent that is compared to a constant. The direction of the inequality depends on whether the base is greater or less than 1. Rules for solving exponential inequalities include retaining or reversing the direction when adding, multiplying, or dividing both sides by positive or negative numbers.

In mathematics, an exponential function of the form f(x) = ax , where “x” is a variable
and “a” is a constant which is called the base of the function and it should be greater
than 0.
Examples:

 f(x) = bx
 f(x) = abx
 f(x) = abcx
 f(x) = ex
 f(x) = 2x

Exponential equation
Are equations in which variables occur as exponents.

Examples:

 3 = 81
 5 = 625
 6 = 121

Rules in solving:
Exponential Functions
 When bases are the same, apply
ax = ay x=y
 When bases are not the same, apply
bx = a log b a=x
apply logarithm to both sides

Exponential inequality
Are inequalities in which one (or both) sides involve a variable exponent. They are useful
In situations involving repeated multiplication, especially when being compared to a constant
value, such as in the case of interest.
Examples:

a)24 x+1 ≤512 b) 3 x < 9x−2

Property of inequality for exponential functions


 If the Base is greater than 1, the direction of the inequality is retained.
 If the Base is less than 1, the direction of the inequality is reversed.

Rules for solving Exponential inequality


 If the same real number is added to or subtracted from both sides of an inequality, the
sense of the inequality is not changed.
 If the both sides of an inequality are multiplied by or divided by the same positive real
number, the sense of the inequality is not changed.
 If both sides of an inequality are multiplied by or divided by the same negative real
number, the sense of the inequality is not changed.
