Chapter Review FREQUENTLY ASKED Questions Q: How can ou identif an eponential function from its equation? its graph? a table of values? A: The eponential function has the form f () 5 b, where the variable is an eponent. The shape of its graph depends upon the parameter b. 1 = = 1 ( ) 1 Stud See Lesson.5. Tr Chapter Review Questions 9 and 1. 1 1 1 1 If b. 1, then the curve increases as If, b, 1, then the curve increases. decreases as increases. In each case, the function has the -ais (the line 5 ) as its horizontal asmptote. A differences table for an eponential function shows that the differences are never constant, as the are for linear and quadratic functions. The are related b a multiplication pattern.

Q: How can transformations help in drawing the graphs of eponential functions? A: Functions of the form g () 5 af (k( d )) 1 c can be graphed b appling the appropriate transformations to the ke points and asmptotes of the parent function f () 5 b, following an appropriate order often, stretches and compressions, then reflections, and finall translations. In functions of the form g () 5 ab k(d ) 1 c, the constants a, k, d, and c change the location or shape of the graph of f (). The shape of the graph of g() depends on the value of the base of the function, f () 5 b. a represents the vertical stretch or compression factor. If a,, then the function has also been reflected in the -ais. k represents the horizontal stretch or compression factor. If k,, then the function has also been reflected in the -ais. c represents the number of units of vertical translation up or down. d represents the number of units of horizontal translation right or left. Q: How can eponential functions model growth and deca? How can ou use them to solve problems? A: Eponential functions can be used to model phenomena ehibiting repeated multiplication of the same factor. Each formula is modelled after the eponential function 5 ab The amount in the future The present value or initial amount The growth/deca factor: if growth, then b. 1; if deca, then, b, 1 The number of periods of growth or deca When solving problems, list these four elements of the equation and fill in the data as ou read the problem. This will help ou organize the information and create the equation ou require to solve the problem.
