Basic graph interpretation – Exponential

1) Finding the equation: 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑏 𝑥+𝑝 + 𝑞

* Often given partial equation and a-value is usually given as 1 or -1.


Normally, the asymptote and a point will also be given

* Find p-value by knowing what the “mother function” looks like and how the
“new” graph has shifted (or p could be given)

* Solve for b-value.

Example: Determine the equation of 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑏 𝑥+1 + 𝑞

𝑔(𝑥)

(−3; 2)

𝑦 = −2
2) Domain & Range:

Domain: 𝑥 ∈ ℝ (for all exponential functions)


Range: is limited by the asymptote

If 𝑎 > 0 If 𝑎 < 0

Then the range is > 𝑞-value Then the range is < 𝑞-value

3) Increasing and Decreasing:


Values of 𝑥 for which the graph is
Increasing:

When 𝑏 > 1 & 𝑎 < 0 then the function increases for 𝑥 ∈ ℝ

Decreasing:

When 𝑏 < 1 (fraction) and 𝑎 < 0 then the function decreases for 𝑥 ∈ ℝ
