Graphing exponential functions

 The function f(x)=a^{x} is a one-to-one function (any single input gives a distinct output).

The domain of this function is \mathbb{R} or \left(-\infty, +\infty \right)

The y-intercept is 1. The x-intercept will not happen due to the nature of this function.

we can see that when we move towards -\infty the function is closer to 0 but when we move to the right it increase very fast.

Rules of shifting are the same as the ones we saw with the quadratic equations.

If we flip the above equation about the y-axis we get 3^{-x}. If we move the resulting graph 4 units down we get 3^{-x}-4

 

If we graph -3^{x} we get a flipped graph about the x-axis

 

Now let’s use e as base:

We graph e^x and use transformations and draw -e^{x-2}+3

Flip about x-axis, shift two units to the right and shift three units up.
