Graphing Exponential Growth/Decay

GRAPHING EXPONENTIAL GROWTH/DECAY: 

y= aŸbx-h+k
a= multiplier
         a>1 = stretch 
         0<a<1 = compression 
         a<0 (negative) = flipped over x-axis 
b= base 
         b>1 = GROWTH (always increasing)
         0<b<1 = DECAY (always decreasing) 
h= left/right (opposite) 
k= up/down


Domain

(-∞,∞) = All Real numbers 
Range:     y>k (Positive)
                y<k (Negative) 


Asymptote
y=k
