Analyzing Exponential Functions and Graphs

Anil Kumar explains how to derive the equation of an exponential function from given graphs. The video covers identifying key features like horizontal asymptotes and y-intercepts, and using these to calculate the equation parameters. Two graphs are analyzed, demonstrating the process of finding the vertical stretch and base. The video concludes with a summary of the methods used.
