    Uploaded by

    Will Abariso
    The document discusses exponential functions. It defines exponential functions as functions of the form f(x)=bx where b is a positive constant base not equal to 1. It describes how to represent exponential functions using tables, graphs, and equations. It discusses properties of exponential functions such as their domain, range, intercepts, asymptotes, and behavior as increasing or decreasing. The document also covers transformations of exponential functions including horizontal and vertical translation, vertical stretching/shrinking, and reflection.

    Lesson Objectives
    At the end of the lesson, the students must be able
    to:
    • represent an exponential function through its: (a)
    table of values, (b) graph, and (c) equation;
    • find the domain and range of an exponential
    function;
    • find the intercept, zeros, and asymptote of an
    exponential function; and
    • graph exponential functions.
    Zero as an Exponent
    • If a ≠ 0, then a⁰ = 1

    Exponential Function
    An exponential function can be written as
    f (x) = bˣ

    where b > 0, b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

    In the equation f(x) = bˣ, b is a constant called


    the base and x is an independent variable
    called the exponent.
    Here are some examples of exponential
    functions.

     
    =  
    g=  
    h=

    The following are not exponential functions.


     
    =  
    g=  
    h=
    The base is a The base is of an exponential Both the base and the exponent
    variable function must be a positive are variables
    constant other than 1
    Properties of Exponential Functions and their
    Graphs
    Let f(x) = bˣ, b > 0, and b ≠ 1.

    1. The domain is the set of real numbers,


    (-∞, ∞).
    2. The range is the set of positive real numbers,
    (0, ∞).
    Properties of Exponential Functions and their
    Graphs
    Let f(x) = bˣ, b > 0, and b ≠ 1.

    3. The function passes through the point (0,1)


    because f(0) = b⁰ = 1.
    Properties of Exponential Functions and their
    Graphs
    Let f(x) = bˣ, b > 0, and b ≠ 1.

    4. The graph approaches but does not reach the


    x-axis. The x-axis is the horizontal asymptote.
    Properties of Exponential Functions and their
    Graphs
    Let f(x) = bˣ, b > 0, and b ≠ 1.

    5. If b > 1, f is an increasing exponential function.


    If 0 < b < 1, f is a decreasing exponential
    function
    Different Transformations
    Transformation – the process of moving a figure
    from the starting position to some ending
    position without changing its size and shape.
    a. Horizontal Translation
    b. Vertical Translation
    c. Vertical Stretching or Shrinking
    d. Reflection
    Definition

    Translation – a shift or movement in a figure’s


    location without changing its shape.

    Reflection – a transformation that produces a


    new figure, which is a mirror image of the
    original figure.
    Horizontal Translation
    𝒙 +𝒄
    𝒇 ( 𝒙 )= 𝒃
     

    •  Shifts the graph of units to the left if c >


    0.
    • Shifts the graph of units to the right if c
    < 0.
    Vertical Translation
    𝒙
    𝒇 ( 𝒙 ) = 𝒃 +𝒄
     

    •  Shifts the graph of units upward if c > 0.


    • Shifts the graph of units downward if c <
    0.
    Vertical Stretching or Shrinking
    𝒙
    𝒇 ( 𝒙 ) = 𝒄𝒃
     

    •  Multiplying y-coordinates of by c.
    • Stretches the graph of vertically if
    c>1
    • Shrinks the graph of vertically if
    0<c<1
    Reflection
    𝒙
    𝒇 ( 𝒙 ) =− 𝒃
     

    •  Reflects the graph of about the x-axis.


    • Reflects the graph of about the y-axis.
