Features of exponential and logarithmic functions worksheet for Precalculus
Precalculus reads the same features with more attention to reflections and shifts: the y-intercept and asymptote of an exponential, the asymptote, domain and x-intercept of a logarithm, and domain and range written as inequalities. A negative a flips an exponential below its asymptote, which turns the range into y < k.
Also taught in Algebra 2, at its own level and with its own examples.

How to do these
Find the -intercept, the asymptote and the range of
- At x = 0 the power is 1, so y = -3 + 6 = 3.
- As x heads to negative infinity, 2ˣ shrinks to 0, so y levels off at 6.
- The -3 puts the curve below that line, so every y is less than 6.
The answer is , , range .
Where students go wrong
Giving every exponential the range y > k. When a is negative the curve sits below its asymptote, so y = -3·2ˣ + 6 has range y < 6.
Also called asymptotes of exponential functions, domain of a logarithm, intercepts of exponential and log graphs or end behavior of exponentials.
