Exponential
Together x and y form a co-ordinate
When we write a function in standard
form, y must always be on its own
y=a(k ¿¿ x)+q ¿
Steps:
1. Find the x-intercepts by making y = 0 (if there is one, it depends on the asymptote)
2. Find the y-intercept by making x = 0
3. Plot the points
4. Join with a curve
Example:
x
f ( x )=2
x
f ( x )=2.2 +1
()

f ( x )=−2. +3
