Understanding Exponential Functions

The video tutorial guides viewers through identifying the graph of the exponential function f(x) = 2 * 3^x. It begins by explaining the function's characteristics, such as the Y-intercept and initial value. The concept of the common ratio is introduced, highlighting how it affects the function's growth. The tutorial then compares different graphs to determine which one accurately represents the function, emphasizing the importance of the Y-intercept and common ratio in making this determination.
