THE EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS

I. Introductory Concept

Exponential function is sometimes called a rapidly increasing

function. In this learning packet, you will solve exponential equations and
inequalities, represent exponential function, find domain, range, asymptote,
intercept and zeros. Series of activities are provided to master the learning
competencies.

II. Learning Skills from the MELCs

At the end of this learning packet, you will be able to;

1. solve exponential equations and inequalities. (M11GM-Ie-f-1)
2. represent an exponential function through its: (a) table of values, (b)
graph, and (c) equation. (M11GM-If-2)
3. find the domain and range of an exponential function. (M11GM-If-3)
4. determine the intercepts, zeroes, and asymptotes of exponential
function. (M11GM-Ie-f-4)

III. Learning Activities

Hello, there! I’m Jhomathgician, I’ll be your guide throughout

this activity.
To fully understand exponential function, please bear in
mind that the one-to-one property of exponential equation states
that if the bases are equal, then the exponents are also equal (bm
= bn, then m = n). In this learning packet, you will graph exponential
function given the table of values, the ordered pairs and its
equations. Also you will learn how to find domain, range, zeros,
asymptote and intercepts of exponential function.
Are you ready?
Let’s go!

Lesson 3. Finding the domain and range of an exponential function

In this lesson you will learn how to find the

domain and range of the exponential function
in the form 𝑦 𝑎(𝑏 𝑥 ) + 𝑐.

Example 1

𝟏
2 4 -3 𝟖 value of x becomes smaller the value of y also

Range

The graph of exponential function will be closer to x-axis

or y = 0 but it will never touch it. As the value of x
decreases, the value of y increases and the graph rapidly
rises to the right. Therefore, the range of f(x) = 2x is the set
of all y’s such that y is greater than zero or {y l y > 0} since
the value of c in the given function is zero.

The graph of 𝑦 − ( 𝑥 ) − 1 becomes closer to line

𝑦 −1 but they will never touch. And it is rapidly falling
to the right because the value of 𝒂 is negative. By
observing the graph, the range is smaller than the value
of 𝒄. Therefore, the range of 𝑦 − ( 𝑥 ) − 1 is the set of
all 𝒚’s such that 𝑦 is less than negative one or *𝒚|𝒚 < 𝟏+.

Example 3

Find the domain and range of ( ) − 4.

The given function is in the form of 𝑓(𝑥) 𝑎(𝑏𝑥) + 𝑐,

where 𝒂 is positive and the graph is rising to the left
because the value of 𝒃 is greater than zero but less than
one.
The domain is *𝑥|𝒙 ∈ ℝ+ since all real numbers can
be used as values of 𝑥.
The range is *𝑦|𝑦 −4+ because the graph is
rapidly rising to the left above 𝑦 −4.

Example 4

Find the domain and range of y = -2(3x) + 1.

The given function is in the form of f 𝑓(𝑥)

𝑎(𝑏𝑥) + 𝑐, where a is negative and the graph is rapidly
falling to the right.
The domain is *𝑥|𝒙 ∈ ℝ+ since all real numbers
can be used as value of x.
The range is *𝑦|𝑦 < 1+ because the graph is
falling to the right below 𝑦 1.

Hello there! In this lesson, you will find the intercept, zeros and

closer to the x-axis or 𝑦 but does not touch it. Therefore, the x-
axis or 𝒚 𝟎 is the asymptote and there are no zeros in the
given functions. However, the y-intercept is the point where the
graph crosses the y-axis. To find the y-intercept just add the value
