Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions

The video tutorial covers exponential growth and decay, explaining how to write and evaluate exponential equations in real-world contexts. It includes examples such as rabbit population growth, overcrowding in India, investment growth, and bacteria decay. The tutorial also compares exponential and linear models, using job salary growth as a practical example.

What is the key difference between exponential and linear growth?

• Linear growth involves multiplying by a fixed amount each time.

• Exponential growth involves a constant rate of change.

• Linear growth involves a constant rate of change.

• Exponential growth involves adding a fixed amount each time.

In the formula y = a(1 + r)^x, what does 'a' represent?

• The initial value

• The time period

• The final value

• The growth rate
