OBSERVATIONS
The exponential function is a one-to-one function.
The domain consists of all real numbers.
The range consists of all positive real numbers.
The function is increasing when b > 1.
The function is decreasing when 0 < b < 1.
The curve is asymptotic to the horizontal x-axis.
NATURAL f(x)
A NATURAL FUNCTION is an exponential function in which
the base is NOT represented by b, but with e. This function is
used in advanced mathematics, particularly in Calculus. The
letter, e, represents an APPROXIMATE value of 2.718. A
natural function is usually expressed through:
or

EXPONENTIAL
EQUATIONS
DEFINITION
An EXPONENTIAL EQUATION is an equation in which a
variable occurs in an exponent. To solve exponential equations,
we use the law of exponents. We also use this property that if x
and y are real numbers and if
, then x = y.
SOLVING
Example 1: Solve the equation:
Rewrite each side of the equation as an
expression having the same base.
2 = x -2
2+2=x Use law of exponents.
4=x
