Exponential functions

Survey of calculus
Find the value of x in the following function:

• Make bases the same


• Make exponents equal to eachother
• Find the value of x in the following function:
• Find the value of x in the following function:
Graphing exponential functions
• e = 2.71828

• Note: f(x) = a (bx) + c always has a horizontal asymptote at


y=c
• Plot the graph for y = and determine domain, range and end behavior
• Plot the graph for y = and determine domain, range and end behavior
• y=
• Note: given parent function with transformation not involving x, no need to
determine coordinates

f(x) + d Vertical translation up d units (x, y) to (x, y + d)
f(x) - d Vertical translation down d units (x, y) to (x, y - d)
f(x + c) Horizontal translation left c units (x, y) to (x – c, y)
f(x - c) Horizontal translation right c units (x, y) to (x + c, y)
