Graphing Exponential
Functions
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to:
❑ represent an exponential function through its table

of values, graph, and equation;
❑ find the domain and range of an exponential function;
❑ determine the intercepts, zeroes, and asymptotes of

an exponential function
Introduction:
❖ The graph of an exponential function is a
necessary tool in describing its behavior and
characteristics:
a) intercepts b) asymptotes and c) zeroes
❖ A graph can also provide insights as to real-

life situations that can be modeled by
exponential functions.
Properties of Exponential
Functions
✓ The domain is the set of all real numbers.
✓ The range is the set of all positive real

numbers.
✓ It is a one-to-one function. It satisfies the

horizontal line test.
Properties of Exponential
Functions
✓ The y-intercept is 1. There is no x- intercept.
✓ The horizontal asymptote is the line y=0 ( or
the x-axis). There is no vertical asymptote.
✓ The function is increasing if base is
greater than 1 (b > 1) and decreasing if
base is greater than zero and less than
one (0 < b <1).
Steps to consider in graphing
an Exponential Function
1. Construct a table of values of ordered
pairs for the given functions.
2. Plot the points found in the table.
3. Connect the point using a smooth

curve.
Example 1
𝒙
Graph the function 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝟐 .
1. Construct a table of values of ordered pairs for the given
functions.
𝒙 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
𝟏 𝟏 𝟏
𝒇(𝒙) 1 2 4 8
𝟖 𝟒 𝟐
Solution:
1. Construct a table of values of ordered pairs for the given functions.
𝒙 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝟐𝒙

Domain: set of all real numbers
Range: set of all positive real

numbers
y intercept :𝒚 = 𝟐𝟎 𝒚 = 𝟏
Horizontal asymptote: 𝒚 = 𝟎
The function 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝟐𝒙 is
increasing because the base
is 2 and greater than 1 (b > 1).
Example 2

𝟐
3. Connect the point using a smooth curve.
𝟏 𝒙
𝟐
Domain: set of all real numbers
Range: set of all positive real
numbers
y intercept : 𝒚 = 𝟐𝟎 𝒚 = 𝟏
There is no x intercept.
Horizontal asymptote: 𝒚 = 𝟎
𝟏
The function 𝒇 𝒙 = ( 𝟐)𝒙 is decreasing
because the base is greater than zero
and less than one (0 < b <1).

pairs for the given functions.
3. Connect the point using a smooth

curve.
