Increasing the parameter a causes the exponential factor e^{-ax} to decay faster. As a result, the pointwise product ^{-ax} drops off more rapidly, visually shifting the weighted contribution of the original function toward smaller values of x.
Conditions: The parameter a is displayed as a positive real value.; The visual example uses a graph over x with no explicit interval stated.
