How can you identify exponential growth from a graph?

Back

Exponential growth can be identified from a graph as a curve that rises steeply to the right, indicating that the function increases rapidly.

How can you identify exponential decay from a graph?

Back

Exponential decay can be identified from a graph as a curve that falls steeply to the right, indicating that the function decreases rapidly.

What is the difference between linear and exponential functions?

Back

Linear functions have a constant rate of change, while exponential functions have a variable rate of change that increases or decreases multiplicatively.

What does it mean if an exponential function has a base greater than 1?

Back

If an exponential function has a base greater than 1, it indicates exponential growth.
