In this lesson, you will learn what an exponential function is and what they are used for in math and science. An exponential function is a function where the independent variable x is in the exponent of a number. The base can be any number, and the shape of the exponential graph will look different depending on the number chosen for the base. If the base is positive, then the exponential graph will grow showing exponential growth. If the base is negative, then the graph will get smaller as x increases, showing an exponential decay. It is important to understand the formula for exponential growth and decay, and how to graph these functions, because they are very common in math, science, and engineering.

@ 17:30 why didn’t you simplify the 8/2x to get 4?

[@ngyuzhemoe7107]

8/2x You'd get 4x, not 4

[@fusheinisalman7909]

any number to the power zero is zero, is zero to the power zero equals to zero?

[@ngyuzhemoe7107]

Any number power 0 is 1, for example 10^0 = 1 100^0 = 1 X^0 = 1 And so on

[@hemrajue3434]

1^x can't be called an exponential function as it's graph would look horizontal line i think.

[@MathAndScience]

Very true

[@baseerahmad8778]

Can i talk to you

[@Ormaaj]

I need a better exponential function for symbolic and numeric algorithms and conversion between the two. The implementations by various CAS software are all different! And they all have weaknesses that lead to paradoxes that cause problems in my electronics simulation.

Holy Crap! So young looking in this vid. Lol

[@MathAndScience]

Yup I’m a time traveler!
