Graph of Exponential Functions The range of f is the interval (0, +infinity). The graph of f has a horizontal asymptote given by y = 0. Function f has a y intercept at (0, 1). f is an increasing function if a is greater than 1 and a decreasing function if a is smaller than 1. You may want to review all the above properties of the exponential function interactively. f is a function given by.
