Graphs of Exponential Functions     Math Help     Game Tips:

- The relations y=2^x, y=3^x, and y=4^x are examples of exponential functions.

- A 'positive constant base raised to a variable exponent' = (constant)^(variable) is an 'Exponential function'.
- In general, an 'Exponential function' is represented by the formula y=a^x where a>0. 
Notice that 'a' cannot be '1' ,
and when integer a>0, the graph of y=a^x passes through the point (0,1).

- The relations y=3(2^x), y=4(6^x), and y=2(3^x) are examples of exponential functions with a front multiplier.
- In general, a 'Constant times an Exponential function' can be represented by a formula such as y=k(a^x).
For integer a>0, the graph of y=k(a^x) passes through the point (0,k).

- In this game, 'k' is an integer from -3 to 3 and 'a' is an integer from 2 to 5.

- Notice y=2^x has graph points such as (-1,1/2), (0,1), (1,2), and (2,4)... ,
while a relation such as y=2(3^x) has graph points such as (-1,2/3), (0,2), (1,6), and (2,18)... .

- There are many applications of exponential functions. For example, exponentials are used in formulas
for compound interest, for geometric growth patterns [a^x], and for radioactive decay patterns [a^-x].
