Now let's remember together what function is called exponential?

A function of the form , where and , is called an exponential function.

What is the scope of this function?

All real numbers.

What is the range of the exponential function?

All positive real numbers.

Decreases if the base is greater than zero but less than one.

When does an exponential function decrease on its domain?

Increases if the base is greater than one.

3. Problem solving

Target: to form skills in recognizing an exponential function, in using its properties and graphs, to teach students to use the analytical and graphical forms of recording an exponential function

Method: demonstration by the teacher of solving typical problems, oral work, work at the blackboard, work in a notebook, teacher's conversation with students.

The properties of the exponential function can be used when comparing 2 or more numbers. For example: No. 000. Compare the values and if a) ..gif" width="37" height="20 src=">, then this is quite a tricky job: we would have to take the cube root of 3 and 9, and compare them. But we know that increases, this is in its own queue means that when the argument increases, the value of the function increases, that is, it is enough for us to compare the values of the argument with each other and, obviously, that (can be demonstrated on a poster with an increasing exponential function). And always when solving such examples, first determine the base of the exponential function, compare with 1, determine monotonicity and proceed to comparing the arguments. In the case of a decreasing function: as the argument increases, the value of the function decreases, therefore, the inequality sign is changed when moving from the inequality of arguments to the inequality of functions. Then we solve orally: b)

AT)

- No. 000. Compare the numbers: a) and

Therefore, the function is increasing, then

Why ?

Increasing function and

Therefore, the function is decreasing, then

Both functions increase over their entire domain of definition, since they are exponential with a base greater than one.

What is the meaning of it?

We build charts:

Which function grows faster when striving https://pandia.ru/text/80/379/images/image062_0.gif" width="20 height=25" height="25">

Which function decreases faster when striving https://pandia.ru/text/80/379/images/image062_0.gif" width="20 height=25" height="25">

On the interval, which of the functions has the greatest value at a particular point?

D), https://pandia.ru/text/80/379/images/image068_0.gif" width="69" height="57 src=">. First, let's find out the scope of these functions. Do they coincide?

Yes, the domain of these functions is all real numbers.

Name the scope of each of these functions.

The ranges of these functions coincide: all positive real numbers.

Determine the type of monotonicity of each of the functions.

All three functions decrease over their entire domain of definition, since they are exponential with a base less than one and greater than zero.

What is the singular point of the graph of an exponential function?

What is the meaning of it?

Whatever the base of the degree of an exponential function, if the exponent is 0, then the value of this function is 1.

We build charts:

Let's analyze the charts. How many intersection points do function graphs have?

Which function decreases faster when striving? https://pandia.ru/text/80/379/images/image070.gif

Which function grows faster when striving? https://pandia.ru/text/80/379/images/image070.gif

On the interval, which of the functions has the greatest value at a particular point?

Why do exponential functions with different bases have only one point of intersection?

The exponential functions are strictly monotonic over their entire domain of definition, so they can only intersect at one point.

The next task will focus on using this property. № 000. Find the largest and smallest value of a given function on a given interval a). Recall that a strictly monotonic function takes its minimum and maximum values at the ends of a given interval. And if the function is increasing, then its largest value will be at the right end of the segment, and the smallest at the left end of the segment (demonstration on the poster, using the exponential function as an example). If the function is decreasing, then its largest value will be at the left end of the segment, and the smallest at the right end of the segment (demonstration on the poster, using the exponential function as an example). The function is increasing, because, therefore, the smallest value of the function will be at the point https://pandia.ru/text/80/379/images/image075_0.gif" width="145" height="29">. Points b ) , in) d) solve notebooks on your own, we will check it orally.

Students solve the problem in their notebook

Decreasing function

- № 000. Find the largest and smallest value of a given function on a given interval a) . This task is almost the same as the previous one. But here is given not a segment, but a ray. We know that the function is increasing, and it has neither the largest nor the smallest value on the entire number line https://pandia.ru/text/80/379/images/image063_0.gif" width="68" height ="20">, and tends to at , i.e., on the ray, the function at tends to 0, but does not have its smallest value, but it has the largest value at the point . Points b) , in) , G) Solve your own notebooks, we will check it orally.

The larger the base of the degree a, the stronger the growth. At 0 < a < 1 exponential function is monotonically decreasing. The smaller the exponent a, the stronger the decrease.

Expressions in terms of complex numbers

Consider the complex number function z:
f (z) = az
where z = x + iy ; i 2 = - 1 .
We express the complex constant a in terms of the modulus r and the argument φ :
a = r e i φ
Then

.
The argument φ is not uniquely defined. In general
φ = φ 0 + 2 pn,
where n is an integer. Therefore, the function f (z) is also ambiguous. Often considered its main importance

Conclusion

In this course work on the topic "Exponential function" I have considered its concept, basic properties and graphs.

The topic of the exponential function, in general, is one of the most frequently used in calculations and solving various problems.

Examples and tasks were given in the work, different in complexity and content.

The course work, in my opinion, is made within the framework of the methodology of teaching mathematics and can be used as a visual aid for full-time and part-time students.

Independent work on the topic"Exponential function". Independent work contains 2 options for three tasks each. Self-study texts are divided into three levels of difficulty. Each task of the variant corresponds to its level of difficulty. An independent work was created in the Microsoft Word text editor. For convenience, the correct answers are given.
