• That's the CDF of an exponential of one, right?

• The use of other potential functions (for example, exponentials) instead of the above function would produce a model having different characteristics.

  Academic text (1995)

• Exponentials are seen, for example, in force distributions in glassy materials, foams, and sand piles.

  Academic text (2001)

• The exponential has a long tail extending to large amplitudes so that, rarely, a signal can scintillate to a strength that is much larger than its true strength in the absence of scintillations.

  Academic text (1999)

• An exponential function can be expressed as f(x) = a^x, where a is a constant.

• In mathematics, the value of e raised to the power of x is an example of an exponential function.
