Sullivan, 8th ed. MAC1140/MAC11476-3: Exponential FunctionsExponential function is a function in the form f(x) = ax where a is a positive real number and a 1. The domain of f is the set of all real numbers. The laws of exponents for real (irrational)exponents are the same as those for integer and rational exponents. Irrational exponents aretruncated to a finite number of digits, so that ar ax. The number e is the number that 11FHGIKJnnapproaches as n.

When f(x) = 1/512, what is x, and what is the point on the graph of f?14. If 11x = 7, what does 11-3x equal?15. Determine the exponential function whose graph is given:a. b.Since f(2) = 1, f(x) is shifted 2 units to The horozontal asymptote appears to be y = 3, thus f(x)the right. As f(2 + 1) or f(3) = 6, the is shifted up 3 units. As it is reflected over the x-axis, abase is 6. Thus, f(x) = must be negative. Since f(0) = 2, which is 1 less than thehorizontal asymptote, f(x) has not been shifted horizontally. f(1) = -2; shifting this down 3 units gives us -5. Thus, f(x)
