LESSON 12 – EXPONENTIAL
FUNCTIONS, EQUATIONS &
INEQUALITIES
Objective: At the end of the lesson, the learner is
able to distinguish among exponential functions,
exponential equations and exponential inequality.
Definition: An exponential
expression is an expression of the
x-c
form a∙b + d, where (b > 0, b ≠
1).
The definitions of exponential
equations, inequalities and functions
are shown below.

Example 2
7 2x-x = 1/343 52x - 5x + 1≤ 0 F(x) = (1.5)x
An exponential equation or
inequality can be solved for all x
values that satisfy the equation or
inequality. An exponential function
expresses a relationship between
two variables (such as x and y), and
can be represented by a table of
values or a graph
Determine whether the given is an
exponential function, an exponential
equation, an exponential inequality, or none
of these.
