What is an exponential function?

Back

An exponential function is a mathematical function of the form f(x) = a * b^x, where 'a' is a constant, 'b' is a positive real number, and 'x' is the exponent.

What is the difference between exponential growth and exponential decay?

Back

Exponential growth occurs when the base 'b' in f(x) = a * b^x is greater than 1, leading to an increase in value as 'x' increases. Exponential decay occurs when 'b' is between 0 and 1, resulting in a decrease in value as 'x' increases.

How do you find the y-intercept of an exponential function?

Back

To find the y-intercept of an exponential function, evaluate the function at x = 0. For example, in f(x) = a * b^x, the y-intercept is f(0) = a.
