In the Introduction to the Derivative video we introduce the notion of the derivative of a function and explain how the derivative captures the instantaneous rate of change of a function. In the ...

where a ¹ 0 and b is a constant called the base of the exponential function. b > 0 and b ¹ 1 x is the independent variable. It is the exponent of the constant, b. Thus exponential functions have a ...
