This example demonstrates how the graph of an exponential function changes with the base. When the base is greater than 1, the graph increases; equal to 1, it becomes a horizontal line; between 0 and 1, it decreases; and less than 0, it oscillates. Key math concepts include the properties of exponential functions, graph transformations, and special points. The construction uses GeoGebra commands with objects b (base), p (power), and D (graph). Suitable for high school students learning about exponential functions to understand the impact of the base on the graph.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Numeric b(2)
  2. p(x) = b^(x)
  3. (1, p(1))

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw an exponential function graph with base 2, taking a point (1, p(1)) where p(x) = 2^x, and observe how the graph changes when the base is greater than 1.
