Our presentation covers exponential functions and their key properties: - Exponential functions take the form y = abx, where a ≠ 0, b > 0, and b ≠ 1. The base b determines the shape of the graph - values greater than 1 produce steep increases, values between 0 and 1 produce steep decreases. - The constant a scales the y-intercept but does not change the shape of the graph. Negative values of a flip the graph about the x-axis. - The equality property for exponential functions states that if the bases are the same, the exponents can be set equal to solve equations. This allows solving equations by rewriting bases to match when they are different.
