What is the difference between Linear and Exponential functions?

Back

Linear functions increase or decrease by a constant amount, while Exponential functions increase or decrease by a constant percentage.

What does the variable 'r' represent in exponential functions?

Back

In exponential functions, 'r' represents the rate of growth (if positive) or decay (if negative).
