Unit 2: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

A function where the y-values change by a constant between consecutive y-values, typically in the form y = a * b^x.

The 'b' in y = a * b^x, which determines if the function represents exponential (if b > 1) or exponential _________ (if 0 < b < 1).

A line that an exponential function approaches but never , typically y=0 for the parent function y=b^x.

The inverse of an exponential function, answering the question: 'To what must the base be raised to get this number?' (log_b(x) = y is equivalent to b^y = x).

Rules like the Rule, Quotient Rule, and Power Rule that allow for manipulation and simplification of logarithmic expressions and equations.
