What are the differences between horizontal and vertical transformations?

Horizontal: Affect the x-values, inside the function. | Vertical: Affect the y-values, outside the function.

What are the differences between growth and decay exponential functions?

Growth: Base > 1, function increases as x increases. | Decay: 0 < Base < 1, function decreases as x increases.

What are the differences between product and power properties?

Product: Adding exponents when multiplying same bases. | Power: Multiplying exponents when raising a power to a power.

Compare bxb^x and bxb^{-x}.

bxb^x: Exponential growth if b > 1, decay if 0 < b < 1. | bxb^{-x}: Exponential decay if b > 1, growth if 0 < b < 1.

Compare horizontal translation and vertical stretch.

Horizontal translation: Shifts the graph left or right. | Vertical stretch: Changes the steepness of the graph.

Compare horizontal and vertical dilations.

Horizontal: Affects the x-axis, compression or stretch. | Vertical: Affects the y-axis, stretch or compression.

Compare f(x)=bx+kf(x) = b^{x+k} and f(x)=bx+kf(x) = b^x + k.

f(x)=bx+kf(x) = b^{x+k}: Horizontal shift. | f(x)=bx+kf(x) = b^x + k: Vertical shift.

Compare f(x)=bcxf(x) = b^{cx} and f(x)=cbxf(x) = cb^x.

f(x)=bcxf(x) = b^{cx}: Horizontal dilation. | f(x)=cbxf(x) = cb^x: Vertical dilation.

Compare reflection about the x-axis and y-axis.

x-axis: Changes the sign of the output. | y-axis: Changes the sign of the input.

Compare b1/2b^{1/2} and (b)2(b)^{2}.

b1/2b^{1/2}: Square root of b. | (b)2(b)^{2}: Square of b.

Define exponential function.

A function of the form f(x)=abxf(x) = ab^x, where aa is a constant, bb is the base, and xx is the exponent.

What is the base of an exponential function?

The base, bb, is a positive real number not equal to 1 in the exponential function f(x)=abxf(x) = ab^x.

Define horizontal translation.

A shift of a function's graph left or right along the x-axis.

Define vertical dilation.

A stretch or compression of a function's graph in the vertical direction (y-axis).

Define horizontal dilation.

A stretch or compression of a function's graph in the horizontal direction (x-axis).

Define negative exponent.

An exponent that indicates the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive value of the exponent.

What is a unit fraction exponent?

An exponent in the form of 1/n, representing the nth root of the base.

Define reciprocal.

The reciprocal of a number x is 1/x.

Define reflection over the y-axis.

A transformation where the graph of a function is flipped over the y-axis.

What is a transformation of a function?

A change in the position, shape, or size of a function's graph.
