University of Saskatchewan: Exponents and Exponential Functions

Exponential functions are the name of the game. Young mathematicians can work through each of the eight worksheets by evaluating functions, applying logarithms, completing logarithmic functions, and building inverse functions. This...

Once you know how to graph y = b^x, the sky's the limit. Young mathematicians learn to graph basic exponential functions and identify key features, and then graph functions of the form f(x) = ab^(x – h) + k from the function f(x) = b^x.

Set up a table to keep track of your values as you evaluate an exponential function. Select some values for the table to plug in to the given exponential expression. Then evaluate the expression. Do you see a pattern?

Exponents are number 34897 to the power of 0! The short video explains what a power function is. It also demonstrates how to identify the n portion in a standard, fraction, and square root example.

Expand your knowledge on exponential growth! A concept video features the definition of an exponential function. Eight problem videos cover graphing exponential functions, identifying exponential growth and decay, and applying...

Set up a table to keep track of your values as you evaluate an exponential function. Select some values for the table to plug in to the given exponential expression. Then evaluate the expression. Do you see a pattern?

One way to get values to be able to graph an exponential function is to make a table. This seems pretty straightforward. Set up a table to plug in random values for x. Then put those values into the equation to get the y-values. These...

Forty problems present a variety of practice using real exponents and working with exponential functions. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work each step of the problem then click the...

The instructor defines an exponential function as any expression or equation in which an exponent is a variable. She then gives several examples.

The University of Saskatchewan's Department of Mathematics and Statistics provides high school students with online tutorials and exercises on what they deem some of the most important topics in exponential and logarithmic functions....
