Slide 2:Exponential Functions are functions which can be represented by graphs similar to the graph on the right
Slide 3:All base exponential functions are similar because they all go through the point (0,1), regardless of the size of their base number Exponential Functions are written in the form:
y = abx
a= constant b = base x = variable
Slide 4:Yellow = 4x Green = ex
Black = 3x Red = 2x
Slide 5:As you could see in the graph, the larger the base, the faster the function increased If we place a negative sign in front of the x, the graphs will be reflected(flipped) across the y-axis
Slide 6:Yellow = 4-x Green = e-x
Black = 3-x Red = 2-x
