Intro Exponential Function

What pattern do you see in this table?

• The number of circles increases by 2 from one stage to the next

• The number of circles doubles from one stage to the next

• The number of circles increases by 2 then by 4 for the rest of the stages

• There is no pattern

Which one is an exponential function?

• A

• B

• C

• B and C

• None of them.

Observe the patterns on this table, what does Jada and Noah's stage 5 look like? (Hint: more than one answer!)

Which function represents the table of values?

Which rule should I use to simplify?

• Power Rule

• Multiplication Rule

• Quotient Rule

• None of these.

Which is the basic form of an exponential function?

What is the equation of the asymptote of the function?

• y=0

• y=50

• y=100

• y=25

Estimate the half-life of the radioactive substance shown in the graph:

• 6 months

• 6 hours

• 1 year

• 1 minute

The half-life of ibuprofen is 1-hour. You take 400 mg of ibuprofen. Write an exponential equation that could be used to find the amount of ibuprofen you have remaining in your body after x hours.
