The learner distinguishes between exponential function, exponential equation, and exponential
inequality. M11GM-Ie-4
Exponential function is a function in the form f ( x )=b xwhere b is called the base and b> 0 but
not equal to 1.
Exponential inequality, an inequality includes a variable in the exponent. It contains symbols
of (¿) ,(¿) ,(¿),(≥).
The definitions of exponential equation, inequalities and functions are shown below:

An exponential equation or inequality can be solved for all x values that satisfy the equation or
inequality. An exponential function expresses a relationship between two variables (such as x and y )
and can be represented by a table of values or a graph.
