Natural Base Natural Base is known as e. (e≈2.718 irrational like π) Named for Leonhard Euler y = a•ekx One of the ten basic functions If k>0, exponential growth If k<0, exponential decay
Natural Base Find the value for the following functions: • y = 3e2x x = 4 y = 8942.874 • y = -5e-3x x = 2 y = -0.012
Exponential Growth/Decay State if the following are exponential growth or decay functions. a) y = e2x b) y = e–2x c) y = 2–x d) y = 0.6–x Exponential Growth (k>0) Exponential Decay (k<0) Exponential Growth (b>0) but reflected across y-axis, so decay Exponential Decay (0<b<1) but reflected across y-axis, so growth
Graphing y = 2ex-1 Vertical stretch 2 Shift right 1 y = e2x+1 Horizontal shrink ½ Shift up 1
