The equation of an exponential function is:

Given a positive real number a, the function that every real number x which corresponds to the power ax is called an exponential function.

x y = 2x
-3 1/8
-2 1/4
-1 1/2
0 1
1 2
2 4
3 8

x y = (1/2)x
-3 8
-2 4
-1 2
0 1
1 1/2
2 1/4
3 1/8

Domain : .

Range: .

It is continuous.

The points (0, 1) and (1, a) belong to the graph.

Increasing if a > 1.

Decreasing if a <1.

The curves y = ax and y = (1/a)x are symmetrical about the y-axis .
