Comparing Linear Exponential and Quadratic

What type of function best models the situation:

A zombie virus has infected the population and the number of infected people triples every day.

• Linear

• Quadratic

• Exponential growth

• Exponential Decay

Which function is exponential?

• A

• B

• C

What type of function describes the story below?You have $5 and triple your money every day.

• Linear

• Quadratic

• Exponential

Which function would best represent each ink cartridge purchased for a printer costs $12.

• Linear

• Quadratic

• Exponential

Which model is appropriate given the points (-3, 8), (-1, 6), (0, 5), (2, 3), (3, 2)? Why?

• Exponential because it curves.

• Linear because it has a constant slope.

• Quadratic because it has a minimum.

• Infinite because it keeps going.

Choose all the equations that are exponential:

• y = 6x -5

• y = 8^x - 9

• f(x) = 3x² + 4

• y = 1/3^x

• y = 7x³

Is the graph linear, exponential or neither?

• Linear

• Exponential 

• Neither

How would you describe the rate of change of these functions?

• Both functions have constant rate of change because they are exponential.

• Both functions have a variable rate of change because they are both exponential.

• A has a constant rate of change because it is linear and B has a variable rate of change because it's exponential

• A has a constant rate of change because it is quadratic and B has a variable rate of change because it's exponential
