EXPONENTIAL
Exponential Function
FUNCTION
An exponential equation is an
equation in which the variable or
appears in an exponent. where and and is in

Exponential functions are functions For example


where 𝑥
𝑓 ( 𝑥 ) =𝑎 + 𝐵
𝑥 𝑓 ( 𝑥 ) =2

where a is any real constant and B 𝑔 ( 𝑥 ) =10


𝑥

is any expression.
𝑥 +1
For example, is an exponential h ( 𝑥 ) =5
function.

of both sides of the

Use the log rule that
lets you rewrite the
( 2 𝑥+1 ) ln 3= ln 16 exponent as a
multiplier.
