Term | Definition |
---|---|
Exponential function | A function whose value is a constant raised to the power of the argument, with the parent function f(x)= a x b exponent x |
Exponential growth | Growth whose rate becomes ever more rapid in proportion to the growing total number or size; occurs when b>1 |
Exponential decay | Growth whose rate becomes ever more rapid in proportion to the growing total number or size; occurs when b>1 |
Natural base | Euler's number, equivalent to approximately 2.7182818 |
Transformations | The movement or shift in shape of a function |
Domain | The set of all possible input values for the function |
Range | All the output values of a function |
Interval of continuity | A function defied at every point on the interval. |
Interval of increasing | As the inputs increase, the outputs increase on the interval. |
Interval of decreasing | As the inputs increase, the outputs decrease on the interval. |
Horizontal asymptote | A horizontal line that a function approaches but never touches, has the equation y= ___ |
Vertical asymptote | A vertical line that a function approaches but never touches, has the equation of x=___ |
End behavior | The value of a function approaches as x approaches positive or negative infinity. |
Limit notation | The use of symbols to represent the value a function approaches |
