U5D2: Introduction to Graphs of Exponential Functions Name______________________________

Learning Target: I can identify key characteristics of exponential functions.

Recall there are two types of exponential functions: Exponential GROWTH and Exponential DECAY.

Exponential Growth: B  1 Exponential Decay: 0  B  1

Warm-up → State the base, and determine if the following are examples of exponential growth or decay and the
percentages of growth or decay.

𝑔(𝑥) = 0. 97𝑥 𝑦(𝑥) = 1.3𝑥 f ( x ) = 0.09(3)x h( x ) = 4( 1 3 )x

Ex. 1: Let’s suppose I gave you $1 and said each month I would triple your money. This situation can be modeled by the
exponential function f(x) = 3x. Let’s make a table to graph.
Characteristics of an exponential function:
Domain: _____________ Range: _____________
Increasing/Decreasing Interval: ______________
y-intercept: ____________ Extrema: __________
Will f(x) = 3x ever have an x-intercept?

Asymptote: _________________ Growth or Decay?

End behavior: As x increases, y ________________________


As decreases, y_________________________

Calculate the average rate of change (AROC) from x = 1 to x = 3.
