Exponential Functions

The exponential function is the function defined by the equation 
f(x)=a^{x  or y =} a^x     a>, a is not equal to 1 , x is any Real No.,

a is called the base (number that is to be multiplied by itself)
x is called the exponent (indicated how many times the base to be multiplied by itself)
