It is a function that has an exponent. An exponent is a little number that one number is raised to. Its usually high and to the right of the first number. Since my computer won't do those little numbers, ^ will be my exponent symbol
5^3
5*5*5 *= times
5^3= 125

An exponential function is the "fastest" increasing/decreasing function (in value). The simpliest example is f(x)=a^x (let's say "a" is constant). if you give a value to x lets say 1000 and a=10 the function f(1000)=a^1000 (and if you want the precise calculation the final resut will be 10... (followed by 1000 zeros...) so a huge number...).

Actually it has this form: f (x) = Bx.. where B and x are real numbers, B>0 and B not equal to 1 ... The domain is all real numbers , The range is all positive real numbers.. Also, x is an exponent...can't do it the right way on the keyboard..

Any number raised to a power. When someone says 'the exponential function' it usually means e (the base of the natural logarithm system) raised to the power of x and is usually written e^x or exp(x).

exaponential functios are functions like some number to the power of other number.
like a to the power of x
but a should be greater that 0
better check your maths books
