Yes, but perhaps only for exponents greater than 1 .
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.
any number
it is called an exponential form
There are several laws of exponential functions, not just one. Here is just one of them:The derivative of THE exponential function (base e) is the same as the function itself.
The base of 1 is not used for exponential functions because it does not produce varied growth rates. An exponential function with a base of 1 would result in a constant value (1), regardless of the exponent, failing to demonstrate the characteristic rapid growth or decay associated with true exponential behavior. Therefore, bases greater than 1 (for growth) or between 0 and 1 (for decay) are required to reflect the dynamic nature of exponential functions.

Involves the function b^x where base ,b, is a positive number other than 1.
Yes.
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".
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.
"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.
