An exponential function is a
function involving exponential
expression showing a
relationship between the
independent variable x and
dependent variable y or f(x).
Examples :
f(x) =
y=
An exponential equation is
an equation involving
exponential expression that
can be solved for all x values
satisfying the equation.
For instance, 121 = 11 and
x
3=9 .
x x−2
An exponential inequality is
an inequality involving
exponential expression that can
be solved for all x values
satisfying the inequality.
Examples:
641/3 > 2 and (0.9) > 0.81
x x
Below is a list of exponential expressions.
Classify each as to whether it is an
