Graphing Exponential Functions (5.2.1)

Question 1

• An exponential function has the variable in the exponent, not in the base.

Answer 1

• An exponential function has the variable in the exponent, not in the base.

Question 2

• An exponential function cannot have a negative base. Exponential functions with positive bases less than 1 have graphs that are decreasing.

Answer 2

• An exponential function cannot have a negative base. Exponential functions with positive bases less than 1 have graphs that are decreasing.
