Exponential Functions: 8.2
**Remember when you have a negative
exponent, you will flip over the fraction far
(place the exponent in the opposite
segment of the division bar:
numerator/denominator) and make the
exponent POSITIVE.**
**You only flip the variable attached to the
exponent; not the coefficient**

Remember???
Basic Linear Function: y= x
Basic Quadratic Function: y=x²
Fact: Unlike Linear and Quadratic Functions,
the basic Exponential Function is not a single
function
Fact: Exponential Functions depends on the
BASE of the Exponential Function
Exponential Function: 8.2
The Basic Exponential Function is written as
y= 𝑏 𝑥 for b>0 , b≠ 1 , and x is ANY real number, and b is a positive number
Variable x is now the power (exponent), rather than the base like with a
linear function

Complete Table and Graph
Key Terms Review:
Zeros (Solutions, X-intercepts)- Set of x-values such that f(x)=0
Ex: x + 3= 0
X =-3
X-intercepts- are the x-coordinate (x-value) of the point where a graph
crosses the x-axis.
◦ The values at which the graph crosses the x-axis
◦ To solve set y or f(x) equal to 0 and solve
Exponential Function: 8.2
Y-intercept
 The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the
point where a graph crosses the y-axis.
 The values at which the graph crosses the yaxis
 To solve replace x-values with 0
Domain- x-values of a function (-∞, ∞)
Range- y-values of a function (0, yintercept value)

Exponential Function: 8.2
Exponential functions with a base > 1
(whole #) have the following characteristic:

• the higher the number for the base the CLOSER
the graph will be to the y-axis/ steeper graph in
Quadrant 1
Graph: y= 2ˣ, y= 3ˣ, y=4ˣ, y=5ˣ
Exponential Function: 8.2

Exponential functions with a base
between 0 and 1 (fraction) has the
following characteristics:
 The smaller the fraction or decimal the closer the
graph is to the y-axis in Quadrant 2
 The graph falls from left to right (decreases)
Graph y= .9ˣ, y= .1ˣ, y= .45ˣ, y=.25ˣ
