What are the 2 key parts of an exponential function

The a and the base value

Step-by-step explanation:

Depending on the number of the a or b value, the graph can be completely altered! In a standard exponential function, the b value is 2

An exponential function with both an a and a B value looks like this:

The a value is the starting point of the exponential function. Not all function will have starting points, mind you! The a value can be negative or positive, which would affect the point which the graph of the exponential function starts.

The b value is like the 'rate of change' for the exponential function. It can also be positive or negative -- depending on the sign of the b value, the function can decrease of increase.

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17   {equation 1}

xy = -24         {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6   or     y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6           or     y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3         or   y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8
