End Behavior of Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

The video tutorial explains the features of exponential and logarithmic functions. It begins with an introduction to these functions, followed by a detailed analysis of a logarithmic function, highlighting its vertical asymptote, range, domain, and end behavior. The tutorial then shifts focus to an exponential function, discussing its horizontal asymptote, range, domain, and end behavior. The video aims to help students understand the characteristics and behaviors of these mathematical functions.

What is the first step in identifying whether a function is exponential or logarithmic?

• Check the graph for asymptotes

• Look at the equation for a log or exponential term

• Determine the range of the function

• Identify the domain of the function

What type of asymptote do logarithmic functions have?

• Diagonal

• None

• Vertical
