What does the base of an exponential function indicate?

Back

The base of an exponential function indicates the growth or decay factor. If the base is greater than 1, the function represents exponential growth; if the base is between 0 and 1, it represents exponential decay.

How can you determine if a function represents exponential growth or decay?

Back

To determine if a function represents exponential growth or decay, examine the base of the exponential function. If the base is greater than 1, it indicates growth; if the base is between 0 and 1, it indicates decay.

How do you solve an exponential equation graphically?

Back

To solve an exponential equation graphically, plot the function on a graph and find the point where it intersects with the line representing the other side of the equation. The x-coordinate of the intersection point gives the solution.
