AFDA Unit 4 Test Review

Match each function with a point on its graph.

• (-1, 6)

• (0, -2)

• (-1, 2)

• (1, 18)

Answer explanation

Use the table feature in Desmos! Video shows how.

• 
• 
• 

Answer explanation

Use Desmos to graph, if needed. Pay attention to an exponential graph's key features, such as general shape (growth vs decay) and y-intercept.

Match the following, referencing the graph of f(x), shown.

• increases without bound

• This graph shows _________

• approaches y=0

• As x increases without bound, the graph of f(x) _____

• exponential growth

• As x decreases without bound, the graph of f(x) _____

Answer explanation

"As x decreases without bound" means look to the left. What is happening to your graph there? We can see it is going towards the x-axis, aka the line y=0.

"As x increases without bound" means look to the right. What is happening to your graph there? We can see it is going up towards infinity, aka increasing without bound.

Since this exponential function's graph increases, it is exponential growth.

Match the following, referencing the graph of g(x), shown.

• approaches y = -1

• This graph shows _________

• exponential decay

• As x decreases without bound, the graph of g(x) _____

• increases without bound

• As x increases without bound, the graph of g(x) _____

Answer explanation

"As x decreases without bound" means look to the left. What is happening to your graph there? We can see the graph is going up towards infinity, aka increasing without bound.

"As x increases without bound" means look to the right. What is happening to your graph there? We can see it is leveling out at the horizontal line (asymptote) y = -1.

Since this exponential function's graph decreases, it is exponential decay.
