An exponential function is an example of a function that is not an algebraic combination of
polynomials. Such functions are called trancendental functions. We will examine the graphs and
such features as the domain and range of exponential functions of the form f(x) = c ax , where c,
the coefficient, is a real number not equal to zero, and a, the base, is a real number greater than
zero but not equal to one. In this laboratory, exact solutions for intercepts and asymptotes should
be found algebraically and confirmed graphically. All answers in decimal form should be to the
nearest tenth.
