Definition
An exponential function is a function of the form y = a * b^x, where the variable is in the exponent.
Examples
- y = 2 * 3^x is an exponential function.
- y = 100(0.5)^x is an exponential function.
Key rule
The variable sits in the exponent, not the base.
Memory hook
Exponential = the variable rides in the exponent.
