State

Evaluating an exponential function substitutes the input into the exponent and computes by the exponent rules.

Show

For f(x) = 3·2ˣ: f(3) = 3·2³ = 3·8 = 24 — the exponent first, the coefficient after.

Watch for

The base carries the exponent; the coefficient never does.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
