What is an exponential function?

Back

A function of the form f(x) = a(b^x), where a is a constant and b is a positive real number.

How do you determine if an exponential function is increasing or decreasing?

Back

By examining the b-value: if b > 1, it's increasing; if 0 < b < 1, it's decreasing.
