Understanding Linear and Exponential Relationships

The video tutorial explores two different XY relationships to determine if they are linear, exponential, or neither. The first relationship is identified as linear because the change in Y is constant when X increases by a fixed amount. The second relationship is exponential, as the Y values are multiplied by a constant factor when X increases by a fixed amount. The video emphasizes understanding these relationships by analyzing changes in X and Y.

What is the primary method to determine if a relationship is linear?

• Check if y values increase by a constant amount for constant x changes.

• Check if y values are multiplied by a constant factor.

• Check if y values decrease by a constant amount for constant x changes.

• Check if x values are divided by a constant factor.

In a linear relationship, what remains constant when x changes by a fixed amount?

• The sum of x and y values.

• The product of x and y values.

• The ratio of successive y values.

• The change in y values.

How can you identify an exponential relationship?

• By checking if x values decrease by a constant amount.

• By checking if y values are multiplied by a constant factor for constant x changes.

• By checking if y values increase by a constant amount.

• By checking if y values are divided by a constant factor.

What happens to y values in an exponential relationship when x increases by a fixed amount?

• They are multiplied by a constant factor.

• They remain unchanged.

• They decrease by a constant amount.

• They increase by a constant amount.

What is the key difference between linear and exponential relationships?

• Linear relationships have a constant ratio of y values.

• Linear relationships have a constant change in y values.

• Exponential relationships have a constant change in y values.

• Exponential relationships have a constant sum of x and y values.

In the second relationship, what is the change in y when x increases by 1?

• It remains the same.

• It changes by a variable amount.

• It decreases by a constant amount.

• It changes by a constant amount.
