Using the applet below to investigate the exponential function, try and find the functions following properties: domain, range, y-intercept, any asymptotes, or any other distinct properties of the curve. [br][br]What happens when a = 1, a < 1 or a > 1?

Using the following applet and its sliders. [br][br]Can you work out how to transform the exponential function. [br]How is the function translated horizontally, translated vertically, reflected through the x-axis, reflected through the y-axis, stretched or compressed vertically, or stretched or compressed horizontally?
