y=ab^x
What is the formula for an exponential function?
|
(3)^x
Which graph is steeper?
(1)^x (3)^x |
x=3
Solve: 5^x=125
|
Drop the base
When the bases are the same in an exponential equation, what must you do next?
|
(1/5)^x
Which graph is steeper?
(1/2)^x (1/5)^x |
x=6
Solve: 4^x-3=64
|
When the "a" value is negative.
When will the graph be upside down?
|
(6)3^x
Which graph is steeper?
(2)4^x (6)3^x |
x=1/2
Solve: 7^2x+2=343
|
B. increases
In exponential growth: as x increases, y ________
A. decreases B. increases C. stays the same |
(2)^x+3
Which graph is translated to the left?
(2)^x+3 ((4)^x-4)-2 |
x=6
Solve: 3^1/6x+4=243
|
1. Add to the exponent
When translating horizontally do you:
1. Add to the exponent: 2^x+2 2. Add to the term: ((2^x)+2) |
(3)8^x-5
Which graph is translated to the right a greater distance?
(3)8^x-5 (9)5^x-3.5 |
x=3
Solve: 6^1/2x+5/2=1296
