HP_ Exponential Functions
State whether the equation is growth or decay (use calculator to check), as well as what
the domain & range would be for each function.
1. y = 3x + 2 2. y = 0.25x − 1 3. y = 6(5)x
Sketch each function. Decide if it is exponential growth or decay, what is it’s asymptote,
and what the function’s domain & range is.
4. f (x) = 1
3 · 6x 5. f (x) = 4 ( 21 )x
