exponential functions

**exponential functions**

Exponential functions are mathematical expressions where a constant base is raised to a variable exponent, often written in the form ( f(x) = a cdot b^x ), where ( a ) is a constant and ( b ) is the base greater than zero and not equal to one. They are fundamental in modeling growth and decay processes such as population growth, radioactive decay, and compound interest.
