Order Exponential Logarithmic and Common Functions
For questions 276 and 277, (a) state the domain and range, (b) find the zeros, (c)
determine the asymptotes, (d) find the intercepts, (e) discuss increasing and
decreasing behavior, and (f) discuss behavior as x approaches ±∞. Refer to the
following guidelines, as needed.
The graph of f(x) = b
x (b ≠ 1,b > 0) is a smooth, continuous curve. The graph
passes through the points (0,1) and (1,b) and is located in the first and second
quadrants only. The domain is R, and the range is (0,∞). The y-intercept is 1. It
has no x-intercepts. The x-axis is a horizontal asymptote.
Furthermore, the following hold:
• If b > 1, the function is increasing. As x approaches ∞, f(x) = b
x approaches
∞. As x approaches –∞, f(x) = b
x approaches 0, but never reaches 0.
• If 0 < b 0),
f(x) = b
x > 0, for all real numbers
f(0) = b
0 = 1
f(1) = b
1 = b
f(u) · f(v) = b
