Basic standard:

𝒇𝒇(𝒙𝒙) = 𝒂𝒂𝒂𝒂𝒙𝒙 + 𝒒𝒒
𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥): − represents the 𝑦𝑦 − value
𝑎𝑎: − indicates gradient and if the function is positive or negative
𝑏𝑏: − base of the exponent
𝑦𝑦 = 0 − indicates the 𝑥𝑥 − 𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖
𝑥𝑥 = 0 − indicates the 𝑦𝑦 − 𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖
𝑞𝑞: − indicates the horizontal asymptote 𝑦𝑦 = 𝑞𝑞
∴ 𝑞𝑞 − indicates when the function will move up or down

Exponential function.

Positive function; 𝑎𝑎 > 0 Negative function; 𝑎𝑎 < 0

Domain: 𝑥𝑥 ∈ (−∞; ∞) Domain: 𝑥𝑥 ∈ (−∞; ∞)

Range: 𝑦𝑦 ∈ (𝑞𝑞; ∞) Range: 𝑦𝑦 ∈ (𝑞𝑞; ∞)

Important information about the function.

𝒂𝒂 > 0 𝒒𝒒 = 𝟏𝟏

This indicates that the function This indicates that the function has moved 1 units
is positive. up from the original function 𝑦𝑦 = 𝑏𝑏 𝑥𝑥

Asymptote 𝑦𝑦 = 1. There for the function does


not touch the line 𝑦𝑦 = 1

Domain: 𝑥𝑥 ∈ (−∞; ∞)

Range: 𝑦𝑦 ∈ (1; ∞)
Determine the equation of an Exponential function

𝒇𝒇(𝒙𝒙) = 𝒂𝒂𝒃𝒃𝒙𝒙 + 𝒒𝒒
Given: 𝒇𝒇(𝒙𝒙) = 𝒂𝒂. 𝟒𝟒𝒙𝒙 + 𝒒𝒒

𝑦𝑦 = 2

(0; 1)

Step 1: Substitute the asymptotes 𝑦𝑦 = 2

𝑦𝑦 = 𝑎𝑎. 4𝑥𝑥 + 2

Step 2: Substitute the given coordinate (0; 1)

𝑦𝑦 = 𝑎𝑎. 4𝑥𝑥 + 2

1 = 𝑎𝑎. 40 + 2
1 − 2 = 𝑎𝑎
−1 = 𝑎𝑎

Step 3: Substitute 𝑎𝑎 into the equation.

𝑦𝑦 = −4𝑥𝑥 + 2

𝒇𝒇(𝒙𝒙) = −𝟒𝟒𝒙𝒙 + 𝟐𝟐
