Document Summary

Math 1300 lecture 6 notes - exponential functions, applications of exponential functions and the number e. Introduction: the function fsxd 2 x is called an exponential function because the variable, x, is the exponent. It should not be confused with the power function tsxd x 2, in which the variable is the base. In general, an exponential function is a function of the form fsxd b x where b is a positive constant: let"s recall what this means. If x n, a positive integer, then b n b b n factors. If x 0, then b 0 1, and if x 2n, where n is a positive integer, then b 2n 1 b n. A representation of this graph is shown in figure. In particular, since the irrational number s3 satisfies: and we know what 2 1. 7 and 2 1. 8 mean because 1. 7 and 1. 8 are rational numbers.
