you want the equation y=2^(-x) +5.

It works for negative x values, has the correct intercept and correct range :) I'll stick a link for the graph onto the links page for you.

Why are the y-values of an exponential growth function either always greater than or less than the asymptote of the function?

The exponential function is always increasing or decreasing, so its derivative has a constant sign. However the function is solution of an equation of the kind y' = ay for some constant a. Therefore the function itself never changes sign and is MORE?


What is the difference between power functions and exponential functions?

A power function has the equation f(x)=x^a while an exponential function has the equation f(x)=a^x. In a power function, x is brought to the power of the variable. In an exponential function, the variable is brought to the power x.


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


An exponential decay function represents a quantity that has a decreasing halving time?

exponential decay doesnt have to have a decreasing halving time. it just decays at a certain percentage every time, which might be 50% or might not


How do we differentiate between a quadratic equation and an exponential equation?

a quadratic equation must be in this form ax^2+bx+c=0 (can either be + or -) an exponential just means that the function grows at an exponential rate f(x)=x^2 or x^3


How do you know if an equation is exponential?

Basically, in an exponential expression (or equation) you have the independent variable in the exponent. For example: 5 times 10x The general form of an exponential function can be written as: abx or: aekx where a, b, and k are constants, and e is approximately 2.718. Note that just having a power doesn't mean you have an exponential equation. For example, in x3 the variable does NOT appear in the exponent, so it is not an exponential expression.


A function takes the exponential function's output and returns the exponential function's input?

A __________ function takes the exponential function's output and returns the exponential function's input.


What is the purpose of semi logarithm?

The y-axis on a semi logarithmic chart is exponential. This way, when an exponential function is depicted in the chart, it will evolve as a linear function. You often do this to proove that the function is exponential and/or as a tool to help you find the equation for the function. For more see: http://www.answers.com/topic/semi-logarithmic-plot


If you horizontally compress the exponential function f(x) 2x by a factor of 4 which of these is the equation of the new function?

It is f(x) = 8x.


What is the parent function for the exponential function?

The parent function of the exponential function is ax


Is the inverse of an exponential function the quadratic function?

No. The inverse of an exponential function is a logarithmic function.
