Week 4 - Exponential Functions

The document discusses linear functions that intersect at (1,1) and are mirrored across the y-axis, with one increasing and one decreasing. It then discusses properties of exponential functions and how to determine if a function is increasing or decreasing based on the derivative. Several examples of identifying increasing and decreasing functions are provided.

Q3 Q4
- Both 1 and 2 intercepts at 1.
1. F(x) = (2)x Increasing
x
2. F(x) = (1/2) Decreasing
- They are mirrored at the y-axis
- The graphs are in Quadrant 1 and Quadrant 2.
5 Properties of Exponential Function:
1. Domain
2. Range
3. It will meet at 0,1
4. Asymptote
5. Goes up to the right (Up) – Increasing Function
Goes down to the right (Down) – Decreasing Function

How can we tell if a function is increasing or decreasing?


1. If f′(x)>0 on an open interval, then f is increasing on the
interval.
2. If f′(x)<0 on an open interval, then f is decreasing on the
interval.

Identify if the function Is decreasing or increasing.


1. F(x) = 7x – Increasing
2. F(x) = 0.7x – Decreasing
3. F(x) = (10/3)x – Increasing
4. F(x) = (5/7)x – Decreasing
5. F(x) = (7/5)x – Increasing

1. f(x) = 7x 2. f(x) = 0.7x


3. f(x) (x) = (10/3)x 4. f(x) = (5/7)x

5. f(x) + (7/5)x

P(t)=? t
t P(t)=?
