y= 1
What similarities do you notice between the two graphs?
Both:
are exponential
have a y int of 1 (ie x=0 anything to the 0 is 1
What differences do you notice between the two graphs?
the other is exponential decay

Both have a y int. of 1
and y=3
increases more slowly at first
more quickly
then increases

Explore on Desmos and note how the exponential function changes, as the
base changes.

exponential function
you can determine the value of b (the base) by
looking at the value of y when x = 1
increases slowly for
negative x values, increases rapidly for positive x values
decreases rapidly
for negative x values, decreases slowly for positive x
values
there are no x-intercepts
