F(x)=ab^{x} where b must be a positive real number

Wait. Give me a reason, why exponent base must be positive and real?

What happens if b<0?

What happens if b = -1 and x = 1/2?

It means sqrt{-1}?

Exactly. And as i is not real number we can't use it for what you seem to be working with.

Ok, got it. So from this point we get into complex numbers.

Thank you!
