Throughout this course, we have examined families of functions to determine their defining characteristics and behavior. Some of these essential characteristics include, domain, range, intercepts, zeros and any intervals of discontinuity.

	In this topic, you will learn about a new family of functions, called exponential functions. Before doing so, let’s review some defining characteristics of algebraic functions and check your skills in identifying the graphs of different function families. Click here to access the review.
