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

Back

The base 'b' determines the rate of growth or decay. A larger base results in faster growth, while a base less than 1 results in decay.

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

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis, indicating the initial value of the function when x = 0.
