Exponential Functions
EXAMPLE!
Recently, a new
corona virus has caused a
world pandemic. In the
Philippines, it spreads from
five cases in March up to ten
thousand by May. The
contamination of cases is
likened to what we call
exponential spread.
Example:
Construct a table of values that would represent the Covid-19
confirmed cases in the Philippines on the first 15 days of March
starting on March 5.

Then, plot the values on a Cartesian plane. You may use paper
and pencil or any applicable graphing apps such as MS Excel,
GeoGebra, or Desmos.

Now, observe that
there is a set of values that can
be found in x (t as used in the
preceding problem) which
corresponds to a certain value
in f(x). In the case of the
exponential function, the
values of f(x) curves rapidly on
a given value of x.
This is the characteristic of an
exponential function that
differentiates it from other
functions.
Graph of Exponential Functions

𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥
Substitute the values of x to the function to get f(x).

𝑓(𝑥) = f(x) 1 2 4 8 16 32

y – intercept:
(0, 1)

At x < 0, the x – axis


becomes the asymptote
of the graph ( y = 0 ).

On the other hand, y-


values or f(x) contains
only positive integers.

Moreover, you can observe


that the base 2 is greater
than 1 and is not equal to 0.
If this is the case, you will
have what we call
exponential growth. It is an
increasing function.

Here, 0 < b < 1 where b = ½.

You may notice that this


function is also the same as
𝑓(𝑥) = 2−𝑥 .

Still, the x inputs are real


numbers.

As x increases without bound,


the function approaches 0/
The line y = 0 is the horizontal
asymptote.

numbers.

If this is the case, where


0<b<1, you will have what we
call exponential decay. It is a
decreasing function.

PROPERTIES OF EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

1. The domain is the set of all real numbers.


2. The range is the set of all positive real numbers.
3. It is a one-to-one function. It satisfies the Horizontal
Line Test.
4. The y-intercept is 1. There is no x-intercept.
5. The horizontal asymptote is the line y = 0 (or the x-
axis). There is no vertical asymptote.
6. The function is increasing if b>1, and is decreasing if 0
<b < 1.
EXAMPLES
Example 1:

1. Graph the functions 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝟑𝒙 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝒈 𝒙 = 𝟒𝒙 in


the same coordinate plan. Indicate the domain,
range, y-intercept, and horizontal asymptote.
Compare the two graphs.
Example 1:

𝒇 𝒙 = 𝟑𝒙 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝒈 𝒙 = 𝟒𝒙

x -2 -1 0 1

f(x) 1/9 1/3 1 3

g(x) 1/16 1/4 1 4


Example 1: 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝟑𝒙 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝒈 𝒙 = 𝟒𝒙

x -2 -1 0 1
f(x) 1/9 1/3 1 3 For both functions:
g(x) 1/16 1/4 1 4

Domain: Set of all real numbers


Range: Set of all positive real numbers
y-intercept: (0, 1)
Horizontal Asymptote: y = 0
Example 1: 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝟑𝒙 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝒈 𝒙 = 𝟒𝒙

x -2 -1 0 1
f(x) 1/9 1/3 1 3
g(x) 1/16 1/4 1 4 The two graphs have the same
domain, range, y – intercept,
and horizontal asymptote.
However, the graph of g(x)
rises faster than does f(x), and
is closer to the x-axis if x < 0.
Example 2:

𝟏
𝒈 𝒙 = 𝟒−𝒙 or 𝒈 𝒙 = ( )𝒙
𝟒

x -2 -1 0 1 2

g(x) 16 4 1 1/4 1/16


𝟏 𝒙
Example 2: 𝒈 𝒙 =𝟒 −𝒙
or 𝒈 𝒙 = (𝟒 )

x -2 -1 0 1 2

g(x) 16 4 1 1/4 1/16


Domain: Set of all real numbers
Range: Set of all positive real
numbers
y-intercept: (0, 1)
Horizontal Asymptote: y = 0
