Answer:

Exponential function


y=1.25(2)^x

Explanation:

Definitions

Asymptote: a line that the curve gets infinitely close to, but never touches.

Hole: a point on the graph where the function is not defined.

Polynomial Function


f(x)=a_nx^n+a_(n-1)x^(n-1)+...+a_2x^2+a_1x+a_0

An equation containing variables with non-negative integer powers and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction and multiplication.

A continuous function with no holes or asymptotes.

Rational Function


f(x)=(h(x))/(g(x))

An equation containing at least one fraction whose numerator and denominator are polynomials.

A rational function has holes and/or asymptotes.

  • A rational function has holes where any input value causes both the numerator and denominator of the function to be equal to zero.
  • A rational function has vertical asymptotes where the denominator approaches zero.
  • If the degree of the numerator is smaller than the degree of the denominator, there will be a horizontal asymptote at y = 0.
  • If the degree of the numerator is the same as the degree of the denominator, there will be a horizontal asymptote at y = ratio of leading coefficients.
  • If the degree of the numerator is exactly one more than the degree of the denominator, slant asymptotes will occur.

Logarithmic Function


f(x) =\log_ax

A continuous function with a vertical asymptote.

A logarithmic function has a gradual growth or decay.

Exponential Function


f(x)=ab^x

The variable is the exponent.

A continuous function with a horizontal asymptote.

An exponential function has a fast growth or decay.
