What is the significance of the base in an exponential function?

Back

The base determines the rate of growth or decay; a base greater than 1 indicates growth, while a base between 0 and 1 indicates decay.

How can you write an exponential function from a table of values?

Back

Front

Back

It represents an exponential growth function where the initial value is 6 and the population doubles for each increase in x.

Front

What is the difference between linear and exponential functions?

Back

Linear functions have a constant rate of change, while exponential functions have a variable rate of change that increases or decreases multiplicatively.

Back

This indicates an exponential decay function, where the initial value is 2 and the population decreases by a factor of 1/7 for each increase in x.
