5-4 Exponential Functions: Differentiation and Integration

(Day 2)Objective: Differentiate and integrate natural exponential functions.

Ms. BattagliaAB Calculus

The inverse function of the natural logarithmic function f(x)=lnx is called the natural exponential function and is denoted by

f -1(x) = ex

That is,

y = ex if and only if x = lny

Operations with Exponential Functions

1. The domain of f(x)=ex is (-∞, ∞), and the range is (0, ∞)

2. The function f(x)=ex is continuous, and one-to-one on its entire domain.

3. The graph of f(x)=ex is concave upward on its entire domain.
