This document provides instructions for exploring exponential functions using sliders in TI-Nspire Mini-Tutorials. It describes how to create two sliders labeled a and b with ranges from -10 to 10, input the generic exponential function y=ab^x, and manipulate the sliders to explore different exponential functions.

Exploring Exponential Functions Using Sliders
Summary of Keystrokes
Create two sliders:
1
b1A (Repeat.)
(Move 1 slider: Use `¡¢¤ to hover over slider till you see ÷
. Hold
a till you see { `¡¢¤ . Use to move the slider d .)
Change the settings on the sliders:
(Use `¡¢¤ to hover over slider.)
(Change settings: v1 to a with range from -10 to 10; v2 to b with a range
from -10 to 10. Use the e to move from one field to another. Press
k to access special symbols. Press · to complete changes.
Move each slider using `¡¢¤
Input the generic function and manipulate the sliders:
Press e several times to get to the f1 input area.
