Understanding Exponential Functions

The video tutorial explains transformations in exponential functions, focusing on the roles of 'a', 'b', and 'h'. It discusses how 'b' affects graph growth, 'a' impacts the y-intercept, and 'h' causes horizontal shifts. The tutorial also covers graphing the function and understanding asymptotes, providing a comprehensive overview of exponential function transformations.

What is the effect of increasing the value of 'b' in an exponential function?

• The graph decreases more slowly.

• The graph reflects over the x-axis.

• The graph increases more quickly.

• The graph remains unchanged.

How does the 'a' value affect the graph of an exponential function?

• It shifts the graph horizontally.

• It reflects the graph over the y-axis.

• It vertically stretches or compresses the graph.

• It changes the asymptote.

What happens to the graph when 'h' is negative?

• The graph moves up.

• The graph moves down.

• The graph shifts to the right.

• The graph shifts to the left.

If the equation is y = 2 * b^(x + 2), what is the value of 'h'?

• -2

• 0

• 2

• 1

Why is it important to graph with one point in exponential functions?

• To find the y-intercept.

• To understand the graph's direction.

• To determine the slope.

• To identify the asymptote.

What characterizes a typical growth function when 'b' is greater than one?

• The graph decreases.

• The graph remains constant.

• The graph reflects over the y-axis.

• The graph increases.

Where is the asymptote located if the graph is not moved up or down?

• At y = 1

• At x = 0

• At x = 1

• At y = 0
