Exponential Function

The document discusses exponential functions. It defines exponential functions as functions written in the form f(x) = b^x, where b is a constant base and x is the exponent. It lists the key properties of exponential functions, including that the domain is all real numbers, the range is positive real numbers, and whether the function is increasing or decreasing depends on if b is greater than or less than 1. It also provides examples of exponential functions and notes that graphs of exponential functions approach but do not reach the x-axis.

The Nissi International Academy with 1500
population, including the teaching and non-
teaching staff, is located in one of the flooded
areas of the metropolis. During heavy rains,
everyone wants to know if classes are suspended.
The school principal makes a decision and sends a
text message to the assistant principal and to the
prefect of activities. These two members of the
community each sends the text message to two
other members, and so on.

PROPERTIES OF EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
 
Let
 The domain is the set of real numbers .
 The range is the set of positive real numbers
 If , is an increasing exponential function. If , is a decreasing
exponential function.
The function passes through the points because .
 The graph approaches but does not reach the x-axis. The x-axis
is the horizontal asymptote.
• TRANSFORMATION
- the process of moving a figure from the starting position to
some ending position without changing its size or shape.

 REFLECTION
- a transformation that produces a new figure, which is a
minor image of the original figure.

 TRANSLATION
- a shift or movement in a figure’s location without
changing its shape.
