    EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS

    Exponential Functions, Equations, and


    Inequalities
    An exponential function is a function of the form

    where 𝑏 is any number such that 𝑏 > 0 and 𝑏 ≠ 1. In this case, 𝑏 is


    called the base and 𝑥 can be any real number.
    Examples:
    h (5 )
    𝑔 (3 )
    𝑚 ( 2)
    𝑛 (3)
    Exponential Functions, Equations, and
    Inequalities

    Exponential equations are equations in which variables


    occur as exponents.

    Solving Exponential Equations

     Exponential equations can be more complex, and in order


    to solve such equations, LAWS OF EXPONENTS must be
    applied.

    Solving Exponential Equations

    STEP 1. Rewrite both sides with same


    base that is nonzero.
    STEP 2. Equate the exponents on both
    sides of the equation. (This is the
    application of Law 11, if , then .)
    STEP 3. Solve for x.

    Trace the curve
    Consider the functions 𝑓(𝑥) = and 𝑔(𝑥) = for
    some positive number 𝑎.
    Note that 𝑓 and 𝑔 both have no zero.
    Otherwise, for each function, it leads to a
    contradiction as shown below

    Example:
    Let 𝑎 > 0 and 𝑎 ≠ 1. Suppose 𝑓(𝑥) = has a zero such that there
    exists a real number 𝑥 such that

    But since 𝑎 > 0, then for all 𝑥, > 0. This contradicts the equation
    above that = 0. Therefore, 𝑓(𝑥) = has no zero.
