Exponential Functions

This study guide covers exponential functions including their basic form (f(x) = ab^x), identifying a as the initial value and b as the base. It differentiates between exponential growth (b > 1) and decay (0 < b < 1), explores domain, and provides real-world applications. The guide also examines increasing/decreasing trends and concavity, additive transformations (vertical shifts), and limits as x approaches infinity and negative infinity. Finally, it offers practice questions and exam tips focusing on growth/decay, transformations, limits, and real-world applications.
