What does the base of an exponential function represent?

Back

The base of an exponential function determines the rate of growth or decay. If the base is greater than 1, the function represents exponential growth; if the base is between 0 and 1, it represents exponential decay.

What is the common ratio in an exponential function?

Back

The common ratio is the factor by which the function's value multiplies for each unit increase in the exponent. It is represented by the base of the exponential function.

How do you solve an exponential equation with a common base?

Back

To solve an exponential equation with a common base, set the exponents equal to each other after rewriting both sides with the same base.

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

Back

An exponential function can be identified from a table of values if the ratio of consecutive outputs is constant.

Front

What is the difference between exponential and linear functions?

Back

Exponential functions grow or decay at a rate proportional to their current value, while linear functions grow at a constant rate.

What does the term 'triple' mean in the context of exponential growth?

Back

In exponential growth, 'triple' means that the value multiplies by 3 for each time period.
