FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is an exponential function?

Back

An exponential function is a function in which an independent variable appears in the exponent. It can be expressed in the form y = a * b^x, where a is a constant, b is the base, and x is the exponent.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the y-intercept in a linear function?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph of the function crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of b in the equation y = mx + b.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the difference between linear and exponential growth?

Back

Linear growth increases by a constant amount, while exponential growth increases by a percentage of the current value, leading to faster growth over time.
