What does the base of an exponential function represent?

Back

The base of an exponential function determines the rate of growth or decay. If the base is greater than 1, the function represents exponential growth. If the base is between 0 and 1, it represents exponential decay.

What is an asymptote in the context of exponential functions?

Back

An asymptote is a line that the graph of a function approaches but never touches. For exponential functions, the horizontal asymptote is typically the x-axis (y=0) for decay functions.
