Yes, but perhaps only for exponents greater than 1 .

Yes.


What happened if the base of exponential function is less than zero?

If the base of an exponential function is less than zero, the function can exhibit complex behavior. Specifically, if the base is a negative number, the function will not be defined for all real numbers, as it will yield complex numbers for non-integer exponents. Consequently, the exponential function may oscillate between positive and negative values, depending on the exponent's parity, which complicates its interpretation in real-world applications. Thus, exponential functions are typically defined with a positive base for meaningful real-valued outputs.


How are exponential functions characterized?

An exponential function is any function of the form AeBx, where A and B can be any constant, and "e" is approximately 2.718. Such a function can also be written in the form ACx, where "C" is some other constant, used as the base instead of the number "e".


What is the logarithmic function and exponential function?

The exponential function is e to the power x, where "x" is the variable, and "e" is approximately 2.718. (Instead of "e", some other number, greater than 1, may also be used - this might still be considered "an" exponential function.) The logarithmic function is the inverse function (the inverse of the exponential function).The exponential function, is the power function. In its simplest form, m^x is 1 (NOT x) multiplied by m x times. That is m^x = m*m*m*...*m where there are x lots of m.m is the base and x is the exponent (or power or index). The laws of indices allow the definition to be extended to negative, rational, irrational and even complex values for both m and x.There is a special value of m, the Euler number, e, which is a transcendental number which is approx 2.71828... [e is to calculus what pi is to geometry]. Although all functions of the form y = m^x are exponential functions, "the" exponential function is y = e^x.Finally, if y = e^x then x = ln(y): so x is the natural logarithm of y to the base e. As with the exponential functions, the logarithmic function function can have any positive base, but e and 10 are the commonly used one. Log(x), without any qualifying feature, is used to represent log to the base 10 while logx where is a suffixed number, is log to the base b.


In exponential growth functions the base of the exponent must be greater than 1. How would the function change if the base of the exponent were 1 How would the function change if the base of the expon?

"The base of the exponent" doesn't make sense; base and exponent are two different parts of an exponential function. To be an exponential function, the variable must be in the exponent. Assuming the base is positive:* If the base is greater than 1, the function increases. * If the base is 1, you have a constant function. * If the base is less than 1, the function decreases.


Is y equals e-x an exponential function?

Yes, the equation ( y = e^{-x} ) represents an exponential function. In this function, ( e ) is the base of the natural logarithm, and the exponent is a linear function of ( x ) (specifically, (-x)). Exponential functions are characterized by their constant base raised to a variable exponent, and ( e^{-x} ) fits this definition.
