Exponential functions
• Definition a>0 & a≠1
Functions of the form f(x) = ax, where a is a constant, are called exponential functions.

• Graphs
• Properties
1: x-axis is an asymptote 4: a>1, f(x) is increasing function
2: all functions pass (0,1) x→-∞, f(x) → 0; x→+∞, f(x) → +∞
3 Graph of ax is the reflection in the 5: 0<a<1, f(x) is decreasing function
y-axis of graph of (1/a)x x→-∞, f(x) → +∞; x→+∞, f(x) → 0

Quick review of transformation
y f ( x) y f ( x k ) y f ( x) y f ( x) k y f ( x) y af ( x) y f ( x) y f (ax)
k 0 if a 1, f ( x) is if a 1, f ( x) is
Translation by vector Translation by vector
0 k stretched vertcally squashed horizontally
左加右减 上加下减 if 0 a 1, f ( x) is if 0 a 1, f ( x) is
squashed vertcally stretched horizontally
if a 0, af ( x) is if a 0, f ( x) is
