Other graphs have achieves roots or points in the graph where it reachs the x axis, zero and goes into negative numbers

anonymous · Answer

The exponenetial graph, given you haven't made it such that it isn't negative will have an asymptote of y=0 since 2^(-500)=1/2^(500) which is a very small number but these numbers will never quite reach 0, but get very close

magbak · Answer

This is for which question?

anonymous · Answer

the second one , you can also read here its a much more thorough and visual explanation of what i was saying about the asymptote http://www.purplemath.com/modules/expofcns.htm

magbak · Answer

So your answer if for the second question.

magbak · Answer

Ok I just want the answer because the answer explains the entire thing for me please.

mertsj · Answer

If you look at your book where you studied exponential functions it will tell you what the base has to be.  That will answer the first part.

mertsj · Answer

Or look online for the definition of an exponential function.

magbak · Answer

I have no book that is the problem!!!

mertsj · Answer

An Exponential Function is a function of the form y = ab^x, where both a and b are greater than 0 and b is not equal to 1.

magbak · Answer

Ok what is the limitations on the base of an exponential function.

mertsj · Answer

Did you read what I posted?

magbak · Answer

Yes but I am confused please.

mertsj · Answer

What is the base in the exponential function I posted?

magbak · Answer

It is x

mertsj · Answer

$$3^4$$

mertsj · Answer

What is the base?

magbak · Answer

Now I am confused.

mertsj · Answer

in this exponential expression:
$$3^4$$
3 is the base and 4 is the exponent

mertsj · Answer

in this exponential equation:
$$y=6(3^4)$$
3 is the base and 4 is the exponent

mertsj · Answer

In this exponential equation:
$$y=ab^x$$
What is the base?

mertsj · Answer

Ok.  You keep disappearing.  I am done.
