Exponential Functions and Operations

The video tutorial explains how to write an exponential function rule given a table of ordered pairs. It identifies the pattern of multiplication in the pairs and formulates the exponential equation. The tutorial highlights the importance of the zero term and finalizes the equation without the x-1 adjustment. It concludes with instructions for inputting the equation into the Alex platform.

What is the primary operation used in exponential functions?

• Division

• Multiplication

• Addition

• Subtraction

In the context of exponential functions, what does the table of ordered pairs help us determine?

• The sum of the values

• The average of the values

• The pattern of change

• The difference between values

What is the common ratio in the given example of the exponential function?

• 4

• 5

• 2

• 3

How do you get from 3 to 6 in the given exponential function example?

• Subtract 1

• Multiply by 2

• Add 3

• Divide by 2

What is the result of multiplying 12 by the common ratio in the example?

• 24

• 18

• 36

• 30

What is the result of multiplying 6 by the common ratio in the example?

• 30

• 12

• 18

• 24

What is the initial value in the exponential function example provided?

• 12

• 6

• 3

• 24

In the equation f(x) = 6 * 2^x, what does the number 6 represent?

• The common ratio

• The initial value

• The exponent

• The final value

Why is there no x-1 in the exponential function equation?

• Because it is not needed

• Because it is a quadratic function

• Because it is a linear function

• Because we start at the zero term

What is the purpose of the 'now' term in the exponential function equation?

• To represent the starting point

• To indicate the final value

• To show the common ratio

• To denote the exponent
