vertical
up: y = a^x + k
down: y = a^x - k
horizontal
right: y = a^(x-h)
left: y = a^(x+h)
all base exponential functions have
y intercept of (0,1)
Horizontal asymptote of Y = 0
reflections
over y axis: change sing of x coordinate
over x axis: change sign of y coordinate
inverse of expoenetial function
f(x) = a^x –> loga(x)
loga(b^x)
(x)loga(b)
turn log equation into exponent
loga(x) = b –> a^b = x
change base formula
logb(x) / logb(a)
loga(x) = y
a^y = x
logb(x) = logb(a^y)
y = logb(x)/logb(a)
dialations
vertical: y = af(x)
a>1 = stretch
a<1 = compression
Horizontal: y = f(qx)
q>1 = compression
q<1 = stretch
vector
(2/3) = (x/y)
Y = a^x-2 + y
