Exponential Function
A function with the general form f(x) = a * b^x + k
Exponent
A mathematical notation indicating the number of times a quantity is multiplied by itself, used as an input value for an exponential function.
Constant
A non-variable value that determines vertical shift and is added or subtracted to an exponential function.

A population of fish starts at 8000 and decreases by 6% each year. What is the population after 10 years?
Compression
A result of a coefficient that is between 0 and 1, pushing an exponential function towards from the x-axis.
Stretch
A result of a coefficient that is greater than 1, pulling an exponential function away from the x-axis.
Vertical Shift
A result of a constant being added to a exponential function, moving an exponential function up or down.
Exponential Decay
A result of an exponential function having a base value that is between zero and one, decreasing from left to right.
Exponential Growth
A result of an exponential function having a base value that is greater than one, increasing from left to right.
Coefficient
A value multiplied with the base value, causing stretch or compression.
Base
A value that determines exponential growth or decay, it is always attached to exponent
Parent Function
An exponential function containing just the base and exponent.
