An exponential function is a type of function where the variable is the exponent. To graph the exponential function y=5(2)x on a calculator: press y=, type the function using parentheses and ^ for the exponent x, then press Graph. The resulting graph will show an exponential curve increasing from left to right.

4. Step 1: Press y=

5. Step 2: Type your function.
Don’t forget to use ( and ) !
For the exponent x use ^

6. Step 4: Press Graph.
Your graph should look like this.

7. To graph on your own paper:
Press 2nd Graph and use the ordered pairs to graph.
