How do you identify an exponential function from a table of values?

Back

Look for a pattern where the ratio of consecutive outputs (y-values) is constant when the inputs (x-values) increase by the same amount.

How do you find the growth factor in an exponential function?

Back

The growth factor can be found by dividing the output of the function at one point by the output at a previous point, given that the inputs differ by the same amount.
