| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Exponential Function | when a function is a constant raised to the power parent function: f(x)=a x b^x |
| Exponential Growth | growth a rate is rapid in growing total numbers or size when b>1 growth rate: b-1 |
| Exponential Decay | growth a rate is rapid in growing total number or size when b>1 decay rate: 1-b |
| Natural Base | e |
| Transformation | movement or shift in shape of function |
| Domain | x values |
| Range | y values |
| Interval of Continuity | function defined every point on interval |
| Interval of increasing | inputs increase the outputs increase on interval |
| interval of decreasing | inputs increase the outputs on line interval |
| Horizontal Asymptote | A horizontal line approaches but never touches y= |
| Vertical Asymptote | A vertical line approaches but never touches x= |
| End behavior | value a function approaches as x approaches positive or negative infinity |
| Limit Notation | use of symbols to represent value a function approaches |
