Term | Definition |
---|---|
exponential function | A constant raised to the power of an argument with the parent function f(x)=a*bx |
Exponential growth | Growth rate becomes ever more rapid in proportion to the total number or size occurs when b>1 growth rate, b-1: used with % |
Exponential decay | Growth rate becomes ever more rapid in proportion to the total number or size occurs when b>1 decay rate,1-b: used with % |
Natural base | Euler's number, approximately 2.7182818 |
Transformations | The movement or shift of a function |
Domain | Set of all possible input values for the function |
Range | All outputs for the function |
Interval of continuity | A function defined at every point on the interval |
Interval of increasing | Inputs increase, the outputs increase on the interval |
Interval of decreasing | Inputs increase, outputs decrease |
Horizontal asymptote | A horizontal line that a function approaches but never touches Y= |
Vertical asymptote | A vertical line function that approaches but never touches X= |
End behavior | The value of a function that approaches as x approaches positive or negative infinity |
Limit notation | The use of symbols to represent the value of a function that approaches |
