Unit 6 Lesson 2 Notes KEY

(1) The document provides information about exponential functions including the key characteristics of exponential growth and decay functions. Exponential growth functions have a base greater than 1 and increase rapidly, while exponential decay functions have a base between 0 and 1 and decrease rapidly. (2) Transformations of exponential functions are described, including horizontal and vertical shifts. Horizontal shifts are represented by k and vertical shifts depend on the value of a. Graphs of example functions are provided to identify their domain, range, end behavior, intercepts and asymptotes. (3) Natural exponential functions using the base e are discussed. Their properties include e being an irrational number with an approximate value of 2.718 and domains including all real numbers
