What does the base of an exponential function indicate?

Back

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

The translation of the function is 'Up 2' because the graph is shifted vertically upwards by 2 units.

The translation of the function is 'Down 3' because the graph is shifted vertically downwards by 3 units.

The translation of the function is 'Up 7' because the graph is shifted vertically upwards by 7 units.

What is the effect of changing the base in an exponential function?

Back

Changing the base affects the rate of growth or decay. A larger base results in faster growth, while a smaller base (greater than 0 but less than 1) results in faster decay.
