EOC Functions (Linear vs Exponential)

Linear functions have the equation y = mx + b. Which two statements are true about these functions?

• The dependent variable changes the same amount for equal intervals of the independent variable

• The y variable changes the same amount for equal intervals of the x variable

• The dependent variable changes the same percent rate for equal intervals of the independent variable

• The y variable changes the same percent rate for equal intervals of the x variable

Answer explanation

Y = dependent variable

X = independent variable

Exponential functions have the equation y = a(b)^x. Which two statements are true about these functions?

• The dependent variable changes the same amount for equal intervals of the independent variable

• The y variable changes the same amount for equal intervals of the x variable

• The dependent variable changes the same percent rate for equal intervals of the independent variable

• The y variable changes the same percent rate for equal intervals of the x variable

Answer explanation

Y = dependent variable

X = independent variable

What type of function does the table represent?

• Linear

• Exponential

• Neither

Answer explanation

Linear Functions

Subtract y values backwards

Differences will be the same

Change will be same number

----- ----- ----- -----

Exponential Functions

Subtract y values backwards

Differences will be different

Divide the differences

Change will be same %

Which table represents an exponential function?

(anchor chart picture with arrow reminds you to divide y values backwards)

• 
• 
• 
• 

Answer explanation

This is the only exponential function from the options

----- ----- ----- -----

Divide y values backwards

This will produce same result

243 /81 = 3

81 / 27 = 3

27 / 9 = 3

9 / 3 = 3

A table of values is shown for f(x) and g(x).

----- ----- ----- -----

Which statement compares the graphs of f(x) and g(x) over the interval [0, 5]?

• The graph of f(x) always exceeds the graph of g(x) over the interval [0, 5]

• The graph of g(x) always exceeds the graph of f(x) over the interval [0, 5]

• The graph of g(x) exceeds the graph of f(x) over the interval [0, 4], the graphs intersect at a point between 4 and 5, and then the graph of f(x) exceeds the graph of g(x)

• The graph of f(x) exceeds the graph of g(x) over the interval [0, 4], the graphs intersect at a point between 4 and 5, and then the graph of g(x) exceeds the graph of f(x)

Answer explanation

For x values between 0 and 4:

- F(x) has higher y-values

- G(x) has lower y-values

----- ----- ----- -----

For x values 5 and above:

- F(x) has lower y-values

- G(x) has higher y-values

----- ----- ----- -----

On interval (4, 5):

- Both functions must have crossed paths (this means they "intersected"), so that G(x) will become greater

Which statement is true about the graphs of exponential functions?

• The graphs of exponential functions never exceed the graphs of linear and quadratic functions

• The graphs of exponential functions always exceed the graphs of linear and quadratic functions

• The graphs of exponential functions eventually exceed the graphs of linear and quadratic functions

• The graphs of exponential functions eventually exceed the graphs of linear functions but not quadratic functions

Answer explanation

An example is shown to prove the statement

----- ----- ----- -----

H(x) is linear

G(x) is quadratic

F(x) is exponential

----- ----- ----- -----

It is possible for the exponential function to not be greatest at the start

However, at high x-values on the right of the graph, the exponential function will be greater than other functions

Lamar measures the temperature outside and the number of cricket chirps. He found a linear relationship where the warmer it is outside, the more a cricket will chirp.

----- ----- ----- -----

Use the data collected to create a linear relationship that models the number of cricket chirps, C, as a function of temperature, t.
