This video tutorial covers exponential functions with base e, known as the natural exponential function. It explains the function's form, continuous growth and decay rates, and graphical representation. The tutorial includes an application problem modeling revenue growth and predicting future revenue. It also demonstrates solving for doubling time using both graphical and algebraic methods.
