Study Notes
Exponential Functions and Their Graphs
- Exponential growth/decay functions have the form f(x) = ax, where a > 0 and a ≠ 1.
- The domain of an exponential function is all real numbers (ℝ).
- The range of an exponential function is (0, ∞) if a > 1, or (0, ∞) if 0 < a < 1.
- A horizontal asymptote is a line that the graph of a function approaches but never touches. The horizontal asymptote of f(x) = ax is y = 0.
- The y-intercept of f(x) = ax is (0, 1).
- Exponential growth occurs when a > 1 and exponential decay occurs when 0 < a < 1.
Natural Exponential Function
- The natural exponential function is f(x) = ex, where e ≈ 2.71828.
- It has the same properties as exponential functions with other bases, but it's often used in natural growth and decay models.
Transformations of Exponential Functions
- Vertical shifts: f(x) = ax ± k shifts the graph vertically by k units.
- Horizontal shifts: f(x) = ax-h shifts the graph horizontally by h units.
- Vertical stretches/compressions: f(x) = kax stretches or compresses the graph vertically by a factor of k.
- Reflections: f(x) = -ax reflects the graph across the x-axis.
Logarithmic Functions
- Logarithmic functions are the inverses of exponential functions.
- The general form is logax = y, where x > 0, a > 0, and a ≠ 1. This means ay = x.
- The domain of a logarithmic function is (0, ∞).
- The range of a logarithmic function is all real numbers.
- The base-10 logarithm (log x) is also called the common logarithm.
Properties of Logarithms
- loga 1 = 0
- loga a = 1
- loga (x•y) = loga x + loga y
- loga (x/y) = loga x - loga y
- loga xn = n loga x
