There are 8 lessons in this math tutorial covering Exponential Graphs. The tutorial starts with an introduction to Exponential Graphs and is then followed with a list of the separate lessons, the tutorial is designed to be read in order but you can skip to a specific lesson or return to recover a specific math lesson as required to build your math knowledge of Exponential Graphs. you can access all the lessons from this tutorial below.

In this Math tutorial, you will learn:

  • What are exponential functions?
  • What are the names of the elements in the formula of an exponential function?
  • What is the simplest form of an exponential function? How do we call it?
  • How to plot the graph of an exponential function?
  • What is the asymptote of an exponential function graph?
  • How does the sign of coefficients in an exponential function affect the orientation and size of an exponential curve?
  • How to find the formula of an exponential function from its graph?
  • How to deal with exponential functions with a negative base?
  • How to deal with exponential functions that have Euler's number as a base?
  • What are some applications in the practice of exponential functions?

Introduction

Imagine the following scenario: The bacteria in a food sample doubles every hour. If the initial number of bacteria in the sample was 24, what is the number of bacteria in the sample after 3 hours? 8 hours? 1 day? What mathematical equation do you use to find this relationship?

This is a typical example of exponential functions, which are very common in practice. This is why we have created a separate tutorial (the current one) dealing with them.
