Understanding Exponential Functions Through Tables

The video tutorial explains how to identify and model exponential functions using tables. It covers the concept of first and second differences, distinguishing exponential functions from linear and quadratic ones. The tutorial demonstrates how to find the common ratio and starting value to write an exponential equation. It also explains graphing exponential functions and the significance of asymptotes.

What is the general form of an exponential function?

How can you identify an exponential relationship from a table of values?

What is the significance of the common ratio in an exponential function?

How do you determine the starting value when writing an exponential equation from a table?

Explain the difference between linear, quadratic, and exponential functions based on their graphs.

What does the asymptote represent in the context of an exponential function?

Describe the relationship between the table, equation, and graph of an exponential function.
