Exponential Functions and Growth Rates

The video tutorial explains how to determine an exponential function that passes through given points, calculate the exponential growth rate, and find the function value at a specific point. It starts by identifying the initial value and base of the function using the points (0, 15) and (5, 480). The tutorial then verifies the function through graphing and calculates the exponential growth rate, which is 100%. Finally, it demonstrates how to find the function value when X equals 2, resulting in a value of 60.
