Study Notes
Exponential Functions
- An exponential function is the product of an initial amount and a constant ratio raised to a power.
- Exponential functions are expressed using f(x) = a ⋅ bx, where a is a nonzero constant, b > 0, and b ≠ 1.
- The initial amount is the value of the function when x = 0.
- The constant ratio (common ratio) is the value by which the function is multiplied each time x increases by 1.
- To find the constant ratio, divide any output value by the previous output value.
- To find the initial amount, look for the output value when x = 0.
Example
- Find the initial amount and the constant ratio of the exponential function represented by the table.
| x | f(x) |
|---|---|
| 0 | 3 |
| 1 | 12 |
| 2 | 48 |
| 3 | 192 |
| 4 | 768 |
- The initial amount is 3.
- f(0) = 3
- The constant ratio is 4.
- 12 ÷ 3 = 4
- 48 ÷ 12 = 4
- 192 ÷ 48 = 4
- 768 ÷ 192 = 4
- In f(x) = a ⋅ bx, substitute 3 for a and 4 for b.
- The function is f(x) = 3(4)x.
