Question

What is an exponential function?

Answer 1

Solution

• When the independent variable of a function is raised to its power there generates an exponential function.
• Examples: $a^x\to5^x$
• The place of $a$ represents any constant value while $x$ is the independent variable.
• The special case, yet the most common is $e^x$ when $a\to e$ .
