Understanding Linear and Exponential Equations

The video tutorial explains how to identify and differentiate between linear and exponential equations. It describes the forms of these equations and how to determine if they are increasing or decreasing. Exponential equations are characterized by the input variable being in the exponent, with growth or decay determined by the base value. Linear equations follow the slope-intercept form, with behavior determined by the slope. The tutorial provides examples of both types of equations, illustrating their characteristics and behaviors.

What is the main task when given several equations in this problem?

• To solve the equations for x

• To find the roots of the equations

• To graph the equations

• To determine if they are linear or exponential and describe their behavior

Which form does an exponential equation take?

• y = ax^2 + bx + c

• y = a * b^x

• y = a + bx

• y = mx + b
