Unit 5: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions Essay Exponential Function Exponential Functions: An exponential equation is a type of transcendental equation, or equation that can be solved for one factor in terms of another.

Introduction: In mathematics, the exponential function is the function ex, where e is the number (approximately 2.718281828) such that the function ex equals its own derivative. The exponential function is used to model phenomena when a constant change in the independent variable gives the same proportional change (increase or decrease) in the dependent variable. The exponential function is often written as exp(x), especially when the input is an expression too complex to be written as an exponent
