Exponential Functions and Their Properties

The video tutorial explores exponential and logarithmic functions, focusing on their properties, behaviors, and real-world applications. It begins with an introduction to exponential functions, highlighting Euler's number and the behavior of these functions with different exponents. The tutorial provides a real-world example of exponential growth using website users. It then introduces logarithmic functions, explaining their properties and the inverse relationship with exponential functions. The video also covers function transformations, including vertical and horizontal shifts, and concludes with a summary of key concepts.
