What does the base 'b' in an exponential function indicate?

Back

The base 'b' indicates the growth or decay factor. If b > 1, the function represents exponential growth; if 0 < b < 1, it represents exponential decay.

What is a horizontal asymptote in the context of exponential functions?

Back

A horizontal asymptote is a horizontal line that the graph of the function approaches as x approaches positive or negative infinity.

How can you identify exponential growth from a graph?

Back

Exponential growth can be identified by a curve that rises steeply as x increases, indicating that the function's value increases rapidly.

How can you identify exponential decay from a graph?

Back

Exponential decay can be identified by a curve that falls steeply as x increases, indicating that the function's value decreases rapidly.

What is the significance of the y-intercept in an exponential function?

Back

The y-intercept indicates the initial value of the quantity being modeled at x = 0.
