<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script src="path-para-seu-script"></script>
jQuery must be loaded first before your script.
example:
<script src="path/to/jquery.js"></script> <!-- or using CDN is up to you -->
<script type="text/javascript">
// your script here...
</script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
You should put the references to the jquery scripts first.
<script src="jquery-3.5.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.2/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="exponential.js"></script>
make sure that your jquery script is being loaded before every other script
