Exponential Function

EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS,
EQUATIONS, AND INEQUALITIES

 An exponential expression is an expression of


the form , where It expresses a relationship
between two variables (such as x and y), and can
be represented by a table of values or a graph.
Practice Activity:

 Determine whether the given is


an exponential function, an
exponential equation, an
exponential inequality, or none of
these.
One-to-one Property of
Exponential Functions
 If Conversely, if then
SOLVING EXPONENTIAL
EQUATIONS
 Equation such as can be solved
by expressing both sides of the
equation in terms of the same base.
Some exponential equations can be
solved by using algebraic techniques
such as factoring.
Illustrative example 1:
Solve

Express in terms of the same base


Applying the one-to-one property of exponential functions

Alternate Solution
Solve
2: Find x if

Solution:

Express in terms of the same base

Applying the one-to-one


property of exponential functions
Example 3: Solve

Solution:
Practice Problems

Solve the following exponential


equations:
EXPONENTIAL INEQUALITY

 Properties of Exponential
Inequalities

 If , then the exponential function is


increasing for all x. This means that
if and only if
 If then the exponential function is
decreasing for all x. This means that
if and only if
Illustrative example 1:
Solve the inequality
Solution:
Both 9 and 3 can be written using 3 as the base.

Since the base is , then this inequality is equivalent


to
the direction of inequality is retained

The solution set to the inequality is }.


Illustrative example 2:
 Solve the inequality

Solution:

Express in terms of the same base

Since the base is then this inequality is equivalent to


the direction of inequality is reversed

The solution set:


Solve the following
inequalities.
