The exponential function, including its real- and complex-valued forms, constitutes one of the most important concepts in mathematics. In this work, the exponential function is approached in a progressive manner.
Exponential Functions. In this chapter, a will always be a positive number. f (x) = ax. For example, f (x) = 3x is an exponential function, and g(x) = ( 17)x 4 is an exponential function. There is a big di↵erence between an exponential function and a polynomial. The function p(x) = x3 is a polynomial.
Exponential functions come in two varieties, if the base a is larger than 1, e.g.4 x then the values will grow with increasing exponent x, if the base a is smaller than 1, e.g.

X. EXPONENTIALS AND LOGARITHMS. 1. The Exponential and Logarithm Functions. We have so far worked with the algebraic functions — those involving polynomials and root extractions – and with the trigonometric functions.
This chapter reviews these laws before recalling exponential functions. Then it explores inverses of exponential functions, which are called logarithms. Recall that in an expression such as an in which a is raised to the power of n, the number a is called the base and n is the exponent.
