Exponential FunctionThe function f(x) = bx, where x is a real number, b > 0 and b ≠ 1, is called the exponential function, base b.
The base needs to be positive in order to avoid the complex numbers that would occur by taking even roots of negative numbers.
The following are examples of exponential functions:

Graphing Exponential Functions
To graph an exponential function, follow the steps listed:
1. Compute some function values and list the results in a table.2. Plot the points and connect them with a smooth curve. Be sure to plot enough points to determine how steeply the curve rises.
![Page 5: CHAPTER 5: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions and Equations](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681625d550346895dd2b4e5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Example
Graph the exponential function y = f (x) = 2x.
![Page 6: CHAPTER 5: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions and Equations](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681625d550346895dd2b4e5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Example (continued)As x increases, y increases without bound; as x ∞, y ∞.As x decreases, y decreases getting close to 0; as x -∞, y 0.
The x-axis, or the line y = 0, is a horizontal asymptote. As the x-inputs decrease, the curve gets closer and closer to this line, but does not cross it.

ExampleGraph the exponential function
This tells us the graph is the reflection of the graph of y = 2x across the y-axis. Selected points are listed in the table.

Example (continued)
As x increases, the function values decrease, getting closer and closer to 0. The x-axis, y = 0, is the horizontal asymptote. As x decreases, the function values increase without bound.

Graphs of Exponential FunctionsObserve the following graphs of exponential functions and look for patterns in them.
For the base between 0 and 1, the graph goes DOWN toward the x-
axis to the right.
For the base between greater than 1, the graph goes UP to the right.
![Page 10: CHAPTER 5: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions and Equations](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681625d550346895dd2b4e5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ExampleGraph y = 2x – 2.The graph is the graph of y = 2x shifted to right 2 units.
![Page 11: CHAPTER 5: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions and Equations](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681625d550346895dd2b4e5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Example Graph y = 5 – 0.5x .
The graph y = 2-x is a reflection of the graph of y = 2x across the y-axis; y = - 2-x is a reflection across the x-axis;
y = - 2-x + 5 or y = 5 - 2x is a shift up 5 units.
