Can the base of an exponential function be a negatice number?
Yes, but perhaps only for exponents greater than 1 .
An exponential function is written as Fx equals a bx where the coefficient a is a constant the base b is positive but not equal to 1 and the exponent x is?
any number
What the difference between an exponential equation and a power equation?
y = ax, where a is some constant, is an exponential function in x y = xa, where a is some constant, is a power function in x If a > 1 then the exponential will be greater than the power for x > a
How do you write 0.1 in exponential form with base 10?
10-1
What is exponential form for 9?
The exponential form for 9 is 9^1, which can also be written as 9. In exponential form, the base (9 in this case) is raised to the power of 1. This means that 9^1 is equal to 9.
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.
exponential function?
Involves the function b^x where base ,b, is a positive number other than 1.
Can the base of an exponential function be a negatice number?
Yes, but perhaps only for exponents greater than 1 .
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.
How can you tell if an exponential function is exponential growth or decay by looking at its base?
It is not enough to look at the base. This is because a^x is the same as (1/a)^-x : the key is therefore a combination of the base and the sign of the exponent.0 < base < 1, exponent < 0 : growth0 < base < 1, exponent > 0 : decaybase > 1, exponent < 0 : decaybase > 1, exponent > 0 : growth.
Explain the exponential function with the help of an example?
The exponential function describes a quantity that grows or decays at a constant proportional rate. It is typically written as f(x) = a^x, where 'a' is the base and 'x' is the exponent. For example, if we have f(x) = 2^x, each time x increases by 1, the function doubles, showing exponential growth.

How does an exponential function differ from a power function graphically?
An exponential function of the form a^x eventually becomes greater than the similar power function x^a where a is some constant greater than 1.
Exponential growth function?
y=a*b^x where b>1 and a>1
What determines whether the on a graph of an exponential functions increases or decreases?
An exponential function such as y=b^x increases as x goes to infinity for all values in the domain. That is, the function increases from left to right anywhere you look on the graph, as long as the base b is greater than 1. This is called a "Growth" function. However, the graph is decreasing as x goes to infinity if (a) the opposite value of the input is programmed into the function, as in y=b^-x, or if (b) the base is less than 1, as in y=(1/2)^x.
