Ipads: Work Through The Investigation On Pg. 420

The document discusses exploring properties of exponential functions. It includes graphs of sample exponential functions and notes their characteristics, such as having a horizontal asymptote and defining an exponential growth or decay based on the value of b. The document concludes with exercises asking students to identify properties like the y-intercept and horizontal asymptote for given exponential functions.

a) f(x) = 3x

b) f(x) = 1.5x + 2

The exponential function f(x) = a(b)x + c has the following


characteristics:

• The function is exponential only if b > 0 and b ≠ 1

• The function has a horizontal asymptote along the line


y=c

• The function has a y‐intercept at a + c

• If b > 1, the function will display exponential growth,


where the greater the value of b, the faster the growth

• If 0 < b < 1, the function will display exponential decay,


where the lesser the value of b, the faster the decay

• The domain is the set of real numbers

• The range is the set of all real numbers greater than c
