What is the formula for exponential growth?

Back

The formula for exponential growth is f(t) = a(1 + r)^t, where 'a' is the initial amount, 'r' is the growth rate, and 't' is time.

What is the elimination method in solving systems of equations?

Back

The elimination method involves adding or subtracting equations to eliminate one variable, making it easier to solve for the other.

What does the variable 'b' represent in the function f(x) = a⋅b^x?

Back

In the function f(x) = a⋅b^x, 'b' represents the growth (if b > 1) or decay (if 0 < b < 1) factor.

How do you determine the best method for solving a system of equations?

Back

The best method depends on the specific equations; for example, use elimination for equations that are easily manipulated.

What is the initial value in an exponential function?

Back

The initial value is the starting amount before any growth or decay occurs, represented by 'a' in the function f(x) = a⋅b^x.

Front

What does it mean for a function to be increasing?

Back

A function is increasing if its output values rise as the input values increase.
