Solving Absolute Value Equations: 1.4: Rewriting Equations and Formulas: Chapter 2: Graphing and Writing Linear Equations: 2.1: Graphing Linear Equations: 2.2: Slope of a Line: Ext. So for any exponential function regardless of its base (this is of course unless the function is a sum, for example in which case ).
Further, any exponential function will always intersect the y-axis at 1. One of the characteristics of exponential functions is the rapidly increasing growth as you can see in the graph.
