Linear Functions vs. Exponential Functions

Is the graph linear, exponential or neither?

• Linear

• Exponential

• Neither

Write an exponential function to model the situation. You invest $1500. Your investment escalates at a rate of 3.5%.

• B(t) = 1500(0.965)^t

• B(t) = 1500(1.035)^t

• B(t) = 1500(.035)^t

• B(t) = 1500(1.965)^t

Write an exponential function to model the situation. The value of a car is $18000 and is depreciating at a rate of 12% per year.

• V(t) = .88(18000)^t

• V(t) = .12(18000)^t

• V(t) = 18000(.88)^t

• V(t) = 18000(.12)^t

Which statement below describes the comparison of the linear function f(x) and the exponential function g(x)?

• The value of g(x) is always greater than the value of f(x).

• The value of g(x) is never greater than the value of f(x).

• The value of g(x) will eventually exceed the value of f(x).

• There is not enough information to compare the value of f(x) to the value of g(x).

Which statement below describes the comparison of rate of change between the linear function f(x) and the exponential function g(x).

• g(x) is NEVER greater than f(x) rate of change.

• g(x) will eventually exceed the rate of change of f(x).

• There is not enough information to compare the rate of change of f(x) to g(x).
