OBJECTIVES OF THE LESSON:
By the end of the lesson, students will be
able to:
Represents real-life situations using exponential functions.
Distinguishes between exponential function, exponential equations, and inequalities.
Solves exponential equations and inequalities.
Represents an exponential function through its: (a) table of values, (b) graph, and (c)
equation.
Find the domain and range of an exponential function.
Determine the intercepts, zeroes, and asymptotes of an exponential function.
Solve problems involving exponential functions, equations, and inequalities.
Lesson 15: Graphing Exponential
Functions
0 Graphs of f(x)= bx
for b>1 and for 0 <
1 b <1
Domain, range,
0 intercepts,
zeroes, and
2 asymptotes.
EXAMPLE
1 Sketch the graph of
f(x)=2x
SOLUTION
Step 1: Construct a table of values of ordered
pairs for the given function. The Table of values
for f(x)= 2x is as follows:
x -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4
f(x) 1/16 1/8 ¼ ½ 1 2 4 8 16
CONTINUATIO
N
Step 2: Plot the points found in the table,
and connect them using a smooth curve.
EXAMPLE
2 Sketch the graph of g(x) =
(1/2)x
SOLUTION
Step 1: Construct a table of values of ordered
pairs for the given function. The Table of values
for g(x) = (1/2)x is as follows:
x -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4
g(x) 16 8 4 2 1 ½ ¼ 1/8 1/16
CONTINUATIO
N
Step 2: Plot the points found in the table,
and connect them using a smooth curve.
In general, depending on the value
of b, the graph of f(x)= bx has the
following graph:
Properties of
Exponential
Functions
1. The domain is the set of all real numbers.
2. The range is the set of all positive real numbers.
3. It is a one-to-one function. It satisfies the Horizontal
Line Test.
4. The y-intercept is 1. There is no x-intercept.
5. The horizontal asymptote is the line y=0 (or the x-
axis). There is no vertical asymptote.
6. The function is increasing if b>1, and is decreasing if
0<b<1.
GROUP ACTIVITY
1. Graph the function f(x) = 3x and g(x)= 4x in the
same coordinate plane. Indicate the domain, range,
y-intercept, and horizontal asymptote. Compare
the two graphs.
2. Graph g(x)= 4-x, Indicate the domain, range, y-
intercept, and horizontal asymptote.
