1. Characteristics
OF EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS!!!!!

2. Asymptote
A line that a graph gets closer and closer to, but never crosses or touches

3. Intercepts
x-intercept – the point at which the line intersects the x-axis at (x, 0)
y-intercept – the point at which the line intersects the y-axis at (0, y)

4. Increasing & Decreasing
MOVE LEFT TO RIGHT !
If your finger is going up, the graph is INCREASING
If your finger is going down, the graph is DECREASING
If your finger doesn’t go up or down…then the graph is CONSTANT

5. Domain and Range
Domain: The set of all possible INPUTS (often the “x” variable)
Range: The set of all possible OUTPUTS (often the “y” variable)

6. Rate of Change
Rate of Change: The amount of incline (slope) at a part of a function. The change in Y divided by the change in the X values.

7. End Behavior
End Behavior: The behavior of the graph as x approaches INFINITY or NEGATIVE infinity.
What is the function doing when x approaches infinity?
