Properties of ExponentsIn this module, we are going to explore exponential relationships. Before we do that, it is important that we remember theproperties of exponents you've explored in previous courses.
Properties of Exponents Practice
Simplifying Exponential ExpressionsAn important aspect of learning about exponential relationships is being able to utilize multiple properties in the simplification ofexponential expressions. Watch this video to practice a few problems.

Graph Imagine that you are offered a job that pays $1 on the first day, then $2 on the second day, $4 on the third, and $8 on the fourth.You will continue to get paid in this manner for as long as you hold the job. How can you determine how much money you willhave on your 32nd day of work? Your 100th day of work? This situation represents an exponential function, and that is what we willlearn about in this module. An exponential function is a nonlinear function in which the independent variable is the exponent.

This graph represents exponential decay because the base of the function is greater than 0 but less than 1.
Both of the functions graphed above have an asymptote. An asymptote is a line that a graph approaches more and more closelybut never touches. For both of those functions, the asymptote is the line y = 0.

Graph PracticeComplete the tables for each of the function below, if the dependent value is a fraction type it in using a / symbol. Example: 1/2
Identify the following functions as exponential growth or exponential decay:
Graph Recall from our lesson on transformations of functions that when a function is multiplied by a value, that value can do a few things.
The transformation effects the vertical component of the graph, so in order to graph one of these functions, we should graph the"base" function first, then apply the transformations.
Let's try graphing .
First graph by making a table.

The graph of this function has an asymptote of y = 0.
Watch this video to try a few more:
Transformations of Exponential Functions PracticeMatch each equation to its graph and each equation to the appropriate transformations:
Shift Exponential FunctionsNow that we have stretched, compressed and reflected the exponential functions, we should practice shifting them. The shifts forexponential functions are described below:
Here is an example:
8/5/2018 Properties of Exponents and Graphing Exponential Functions
Notice that the asymptote of y = 0 has been shifted with the function up 1. So the new asymptote is y =1.
Watch this video to try a few more.

Characteristics of Exponential FunctionsAfter graphing exponential functions, it is important we are able to recognize the key features. Below is a table outlining the keyfeatures you should be able to identify and state.
Feature Definition Picture and ExampleDomain - The set of all
possible values toinput for x.
- For allexponentialfunctions thedomain is all realnumbers becauseyou are allowed toput any value in forx.
- To represent allreal numbers, wesay:
8/5/2018 Properties of Exponents and Graphing Exponential Functions
- For exponentialfunctions, theasymptote isalways y = k.
Range - The set of allpossible outputvalues.
- The range forexponentialfunctions will eitherbe all values abovethe asymptote orbelow theasymptote. Therange will neverinclude theasymptote becausethe curve nevertouches that value!
y-intercept - The point wherethe curve crossesthe y-axis.
- Set x=0 and solvefor y.
Intervalsofincreaseordecrease
- The set of all x-values for whichthe function isincreasing ordecreasing.
EndBehavior
- A statement thattells us what the"ends" of the curveare doing

1. Calculate the rate of change for the function over the interval . Solution
2. Calculate the rate of change for the function over the interval . Solution
3. Calculate the rate of change for the function over the interval . Solution
When given a table of values, you can recognize an exponential function by the rate of change. The output values in anexponential function increase or decrease by a factor.
x f(x)0 11 32 93 274 81
Notice that each of the y-values is tripled, or increased by a factor of 3!
Discussion - Transformations of FunctionsIt is now time to complete the Transformations of Functions Discussion. Here is an opportunity for you to challenge yourclassmates. Create two exponential functions with at least one of each of the following:
a vertical stretch, compression or reflectiona horizontal shifta vertical shift
Ex:
Number those equations in your post but do not state the transformations, be sure to use the equation editor in your post(you can get to equation editor by pressing the button that looks like an E in the toolbar). Be sure to write your functionsdown on your own paper and list the transformations for yourself.
