Grade 11 highschool Math - Rational exponent laws

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-03-13] [Hit: ]
For each function, describe key properties relating to domain, range, intercepts, increasing/decreasing intervals, and asymptotes.......
Consider the following functions: y = 2^x, y= 3^x and y=0.5^x

1. For each function, describe key properties relating to domain, range, intercepts, increasing/decreasing intervals, and asymptotes.

2. Make comparisons between the graphs, and explain the relationship between the y-intercepts.

Thank you guys! Cheers~~!

Dear Dong Wook,

y=2^(x)

The domain of the rational expression is all real numbers except where the expression is undefined. In this case, there is no real number that makes the expression undefined.
All real numbers
=====================
y=2^(x)

Since x is on the right-hand side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left-hand side of the equation.
2^(x)=y

Take the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation to remove the variable from the exponent.
ln(2^(x))=ln(y)

The left-hand side of the equation is equal to the exponent of the logarithm argument because the base of the logarithm equals the base of the argument.
xln(2)=ln(y)

Divide each term in the equation by ln(2).
(xln(2))/(ln(2))=(ln(y))/(ln(2))

Cancel the common factor of ln(2) in (xln(2))/(ln(2)).
x=(ln(y))/(ln(2))

The domain of an expression is all real numbers except for the regions where the expression is undefined. This can occur where the denominator equals 0, a square root is less than 0, or a logarithm is less than or equal to 0. All of these are undefined and therefore are not part of the domain.
y<=0

The domain of the rational expression is all real numbers except where the expression is undefined.
y$0_(-I,0) U (0,I)

The domain of the inverse of y=2^(x) is equal to the range of f(y)=(ln(y))/(ln(2)).
Range: y$0_(-I,0) U (0,I)
=====================
Intercect is 1 for all, that answer question 2
=====================
y=2^(x)

The domain of the rational expression is all real numbers except where the expression is undefined. In this case, there is no real number that makes the expression undefined.
