| 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 |
