OBJECTIVE:

✔ Graph exponential functions and identify the zeros,


intercepts and asymptotes.
f(x) = ax
• The graph is
asymptotic to

x-axis.
SKETCH THE GRAPH OF THE GIVEN FUNCTIONS BY
DETERMINING THE Y-INTERCEPT AND THE BEHAVIOR OF THE
GRAPH.

x -1 1 2
f(x) 0.2 5 25
x -1 1 2
f(x) 100 1 0.1
x -2 -1 1
f(x) 2.5 5 20
x -2 -1 1
f(x) 4 2 0.5

The graph is decreasing


x -2 -1 1
f(x) 1.25 2 17

The graph is increasing.
