LESSON 12: FINDING THE DOMAIN AND RANGE OF EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS

 The domain of a function is the set of all values of x , commonly known as the independent
variable or possible inputs in the function.
 The range of a function is the set of all values of y , commonly known as dependent variable or
possible outputs in the function.

LESSON 13: INTERCEPTS, ZEROS AND ASYMPTOTES OF EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION

 Intercepts – are x or y coordinates of the points at which a graph crosses the x-axis or y-axis,
respectively.
 The zeros of a function are the values of x which make the function zero.
 Asymptotes – are lines that continually approach a given curve but do not meet at any finite
distance. It can be vertical, horizontal or oblique asymptote.
Finding the Intercepts/Zeros of Exponential Function
 To find the y−intercept of an exponential function, let x=0 .
 To find the x−intercept of an exponential function, let y=0. The x−intercept is also the zero of
exponential function.
 Some exponential function do not have x−interce pt .
Examples: Determine the intercepts/zeros of the following exponential functions.
