An exponential function can have negative y-values. However, a real-world exponential decay model will never have negative values. Think of it this way... If you divide a positive number by 2 (or take half of it) and then divide that next number by 2, you will never reach or go below 0. For Example: 20, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.625, 0.3125, etc. (Each number is half of the number before it.)
That you have an exponential function. These functions are typical for certain practical problems, such as population growth, or radioactive decay (with a negative exponent in this case).
Any number below negative one.
Do you mean "equations involving exponential functions"? Yes,
If the exponent has the variable of time in it, then it will be either exponential growth (such as compound interest for example), or exponential decay (such as radioactive materials, or a capacitor discharging). If the time constant (coefficient of the time variable) is positive then it is growth, if the time constant is negative, then it is decay.
Well -x^3/4 would be exponential
True
Power functions are functions of the form f(x) = ax^n, where a and n are constants and n is a real number. Exponential functions are functions of the form f(x) = a^x, where a is a constant and x is a real number. The key difference is that in power functions, the variable x is raised to a constant exponent, while in exponential functions, a constant base is raised to the variable x. Additionally, exponential functions grow at a faster rate compared to power functions as x increases.
Negative numbers cannot be written in exponential notation. The rules require the number to be between 1.0-9.9.
when there is no negative exponentswhen there is a minimal number of bases~
Exponential and logarithmic functions are inverses of each other.
exponent of any number is more than 0
There are no points of discontinuity for exponential functions since the domain of the general exponential function consists of all real values!

Exponential and logarithmic functions are different in so far as each is interchangeable with the other depending on how the numbers in a problem are expressed. It is simple to translate exponential equations into logarithmic functions with the aid of certain principles.
