How can you determine if a function is exponential from a table of values?

Back

If the ratio of consecutive outputs (y-values) is constant, the function is exponential.

What is the equation for the exponential function that passes through the points (0, 2) and (1, 10)?

What is the effect of changing the base in an exponential function?

Back

Changing the base affects the steepness of the graph. A larger base results in a steeper curve for growth, while a smaller base (greater than 0 but less than 1) results in a steeper curve for decay.
