Introduction to Graphing Exponential Functions

7.1 - Graphing Exponential Functions

Key Features: y-intercept

• The y-intercept of this function is at -5

• Write the answer as a coordinate pair (0,-5)

Fill in the Blanks

Write the y-intercept of the function as a coordinate pair with NO spaces

Increasing or Decreasing?

• ^^Use this link to help you recognize growth and decay

• Increasing = growth

• Decreasing = Decay

Multiple Choice

Is the graph increasing, decreasing, or neither?

• Increasing

• Decreasing

• Neither

Range

• Range is the y values of a function (up and down)

• It is written lowest to highest

• ONE of the values will be +/- inf.

• What is the range of the graph?

Multiple Choice

What is the range of the graph?

• $$\left(-\infty,3\right)$$

• $$\left(\infty,3\right)$$

• $$\left(3,\infty\right)$$

• $$\left(3,-\infty\right)$$

Domain

• THE DOMAIN WILL ALWAYS BE -INFINITY TO +INFINITY
