Exponential Functions and Their Graphs
![Page 2: Exponential Functions and Their Graphs. Base is 2 Base is 10 Base is 3 Base is ½ The base is a positive number excluding 1 and the exponent is a variable.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f135503460f94c27321/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Base is 2 Base is 10 Base is 3 Base is ½
The base is a positive number excluding 1 and the exponent is a variable.
The parent form of the graph has a y-intercept at (0,1).
The value of b determines the steepness of the curve.

The following functions are not exponential functions:
Variable is the base and not the exponent
The base of an exponential function must be a positive number other than 1
The base of an exponential function must be positive
Variable is both the base and the exponent

Notice as the x-values decrease, the graph of the function gets closer and closer to the x-axis. The function never reaches the x-axis because the value of 2x cannot be zero. In this case, the x-axis is an asymptote. An asymptote is a line that a graphed function approaches as the value of x gets very large or very small.

ExampleUse the graph of f(x)=4 to obtain the graph of g(x)=4 3.
What is the domain and range of each function?

How will the graph shift?
It will shift up 3 units.

How will the graph shift?
It will shift to the left 1 unit.

Example
The exponential equation 13.49 .967 1 predicts the number of O-rings
that are expected to fail at the temperature x F on the space shuttles. The
O-rings were used to seal the connections between d

o
f x
ifferent sections of the shuttle
engines. Use a calculator to find the number expected to fail at the temperature of
40 degrees.
We expect two O-rings to fail at the temperature of 40 degrees.

The Natural Base e
•The letter e is the initial of the last name of Leonhard Euler (1701-1783) who introduced the notation.
• Since has special calculus properties that simplify many calculations, it is the natural base of exponential functions.
•The value of e is defined as the number that the expression approaches as n approaches infinity.
• The value of e to 16 decimal places is 2.7182818284590452.
• The function is called the Natural Exponential Function
