REPRESENTATION OF EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS DOMINIC DALTON L. CALING General Mathematics | Grade 11
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; graph exponential functions. LESSON OBJECTIVES
Let , b > 1, and b ≠ 1. The domain is the set of real numbers, (-∞, ∞). The range is the set of positive real numbers, (0, ∞). If b > 1, f is an increasing exponential function. If 0 < b < 1, f is a decreasing exponential function. The function passes through the point (0, 1) because f(0) = b⁰ = 1. The graph approaches but does not reach the x-axis. The x-axis is the horizontal asymptote. PROPERTIES OF EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS AND THEIR GRAPHS
