Exponential Functions
Exponential Functions: y = a(b^x)
Prof. Battaly, College Algebra, WCC
The blue curve shown on the graph has the equation y = a b^x. For this equation the variable x is in the exponent.
The base, b > 0 and b ≠ 1
The sliders represent values for the coefficient a and the base b.
What happens to the curve when you move the sliders (change the values of a and b)?
