7-1 Exp Functions

This document provides an introduction to exponential functions including: - Defining exponential functions as functions in the form y = abx - Explaining that exponential growth occurs when a > 0 and exponential decay occurs when 0 < b < 1 - Illustrating exponential growth and decay through examples of graphing functions like y = 2x and y = -1/3(3x)
