What is the general shape of the graph of an exponential function?

Back

The graph of an exponential function is a smooth curve that either increases or decreases rapidly, approaching the x-axis but never touching it (asymptote).

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

Back

Changing the base affects the steepness of the graph. A larger base results in a steeper curve, while a smaller base (greater than 0 but less than 1) results in a flatter curve.
