Alright, so some important things to remember when finding the components of exponential equations, and afterwards, graphing it, include: making sure that you have extracted the a, b, h, and k values correctly, making sure that you've got the right type of asymptote for the such equations, and remembering how to tell whether or not the equation will have an x-intercept or not. Basically, you just adhere to the parent graph closely (adapted for the exponential equations) to make sense of said values. The exponential yak died will tell you that exponential equations have the asymptotes of y = k. It will also tell you that the domain is never restricted, which is why y-intercepts will always be present in these equations. Lastly, you can easily tell whether or not an equation has an x-intercept by seeing whether or not the equation crosses the x-axis, which would only occur when the horizontal asymptote is not blocking the way to the axis.
