Exponential

Functions
Some of the most common
applications in real-life of
exponential functions and their
transformations are population
growth, exponential decay and
compound interest.
An exponential
function with base b is
a function of the form
f(x) = b or y = b
x x

where
b > 0, b ≠ 1
Determine if the given is an
exponential function or not.
1. f(x) = 2x2 Not Exponential
2. f(x) = 2x Exponential

3. f(x) = 2 -x

Not Exponential
4. f(x) = 12x
Determine if the given is an
exponential function or not.
5. f(x) = 13 x

Determine if the given is an
exponential function or not.
1. f(x) = 13x 6. f(x) = 7-x
2. f(x) = (-2) x
7. f(x) = x y

3. f(x) = x
8. f(x) = vx-1
4. f(x) = 32x + 1 9. f(x) = 9x+3
5. f(x) = 1x + 1 10. f(x) = 62x
An exponential function with
base b is a function of the form
f(x) = b or y = b where b > 0,
x x

b≠1

Example:
1. h(x) = 2 x+1

2. f(x) = 34x
An exponential
expression is an expression
of the form a•b + d,
x-c

where b > 0, b ≠ 1
