2 Ex 2B - The Exponential Function

The document discusses graphing exponential functions involving Euler's number e. It introduces e and some of its properties. It then discusses key features of the graph of e^x and how transformations like translations, dilations, and reflections affect the graph. Examples of applying transformations to e^x are worked through. The document aims to help students learn how to graph and transform graphs of exponential functions involving e.

Features of
The graph of appears to the right.

Key features of the graph are:


• The horizontal asymptote at
• The -intercept at (0, 1)
• This is because e0 = 1
• The key points are (1, ) and (-1, )
• Graph is strictly increasing

The graph will appear above the x-axis unless it has been transformed.
In other words, all the y-values are positive unless a transformation has been applied.
