Exponential Functions and Graphs

What is an exponential function?

• A function where the independent variable is the base of the exponent.

• A function where the independent variable appears as an exponent.

• A function that increases or decreases at a constant rate.

• A function that can only model growth processes.

What is a horizontal asymptote in the context of exponential functions?

• The minimum value the function can reach.

• A line the function approaches but never crosses.

• A line the function will intersect at least once.

• The maximum value the function can reach.

How can you tell if an exponential function represents growth?

• When the coefficient of the exponent is negative.

• When the base of the exponent is greater than one.

• When the base of the exponent is zero.

• When the base of the exponent is less than one.
