Definition :
\The function defined by is called as the natural exponential function.
It is denoated by .
Properties of Natural exponential function :
\The exponential function is a continous function with domain
and range
.
Therefore for all values of
.
Also
\The graph crosses the axis at
.
When the value increases, when
the graph decreases.
Domain of is all real numbers and range is all positive real numbers (Never zero).
Graph passes the vertical line test.
Graph passes the horizantal line test-its inverse is also a function.
Graph is asymptotic to the
-axis - gets very, very close to the
-axis but does not touch it or cross it.
is continous, increasing, one-to-one and concave upwards on its entire domain.
Properties of Natural exponential function is described.
