Definition: Exponential Function
The exponential function with base The exponential function with base aa is defined by: is defined by:
ff((xx) = ) = aaxx
where where a a > 0 and > 0 and aa ≠ ≠ 1.1.

Ex 1—Evaluating Exponential Functions
Let Let ff((xx) = 3) = 3xx and evaluate the following: and evaluate the following:
(a)(a) ff(2)(2)
(b)(b) ff(–(– )⅔)⅔
(c)(c) ff((ππ) )
(d)(d) ff( √2 ) ( √2 )
Hint: you will need a calculator!!Hint: you will need a calculator!!
= 32 = 3 ^ 2 ENTER = 9
= 3- ⅔ =3 ^((–) 2÷3 ) ENTER ≈ 0.4807
= 3π = 3^π ENTER ≈ 31.544
= 3√2 = 3^√ 2) ENTER ≈ 4.7288

ex 2: Identifying Graphs of Exponential Functions
Find the exponential function Find the exponential function ff((xx) = ) = aaxx whose graph is given.whose graph is given.
Since f(2) = a2 = 25, we see that the base is 5.
SO… f (x) = 5x

Find the exponential function Find the exponential function ff((xx) = ) = aaxx whose graph is given.whose graph is given.
Since f(3) = a3 = 1/8 , we see that the base is ½ .
SO... f (x) = (½)x

We can graph Exponential Functions using transformations.
Find the parent function f(x) = 2x in the front of your book.
