How do you identify an exponential function from a graph?

Back

An exponential function graph shows a rapid increase or decrease, forming a curve that approaches the x-axis but never touches it (asymptotic behavior).

How do you write an exponential equation from a graph?

Back

To write an exponential equation from a graph, identify the initial value (y-intercept) and the growth/decay factor by analyzing the rate of change between points.
