Step 1
1 of 2

$\text{A function ff of the form}$

f(x)=ax, a>0, a1\boxed{f\left(x\right)=a^x, \ a>0, \ a\neq1}

is called an exponential function with base a and exponent x.\text{is called an \textbf{exponential function with base $a$ and exponent $x$}.}

Its domain is (, ).\text{Its domain is $\left(-\infty, \ \infty\right)$.}

function y=xx is not a form y=ax and then it is not an exponential function.\text{function $y=x^x$ is not a form $y=a^x$ and then it is \textbf{not an exponential function}.}
