I. Concept/Digest
The exponential function f with base b is defined by f (x)  b x or y  b x where b  0, b 1 and
x is any real number.
y
*Characteristics of Exponential Functions of the Form
 f (x)  b
x
    
1. The Domain of f (x) : (, ). The Range of f (x) : (0, )
2. The y-intercept is 1.
 3. If b 1, goes up to the right, increasing function.
4. If 0  b 
1, goes
 down to the right, decreasing

II. EXAMPLE
Determine the domain, range, and y-intercept of each exponential function.
1. y=2x
2. y=2x + 1
Solution 1:
The domain is the set of all real numbers
The range is the set of all positive real numbers.
The y-intercept is 1.
Solution 2:
The domain is the set of all real numbers
The range is the set of all positive real numbers.
The y-intercept is 2.
III. EXERCISES
Give the domain, range, and y-intercept of each exponential function.
1. y=10x 2. y=2x + 5 3. y=1/2 + 3x
