Linear and Exponential Functions Concepts

The video tutorial explains the differences between linear and exponential functions using tables. Linear functions are characterized by a constant addition or subtraction pattern in the y-values, while exponential functions involve multiplication or division. The video provides examples to help identify these patterns and determine whether a function is linear or exponential. It also includes practical examples to illustrate these concepts, helping viewers understand how to recognize and differentiate between the two types of functions.

What is the main focus of the video tutorial?

• The difference between linear and quadratic functions

• The difference between linear and exponential functions

• The difference between exponential and logarithmic functions

• The difference between quadratic and exponential functions

In a linear function, how do the y-values change?

• By adding or subtracting a constant

• By multiplying by a constant

• By dividing by a constant

• By adding a variable amount

What pattern do y-values follow in an exponential function?

• They multiply by a constant

• They add a constant

• They subtract a constant

• They remain constant

How do x-values change in both linear and exponential functions?

• They vary randomly

• They remain constant

• They increase by a constant amount

• They decrease by a constant amount

What is a key characteristic of linear functions?

• Y-values remain constant

• Y-values change by addition or subtraction

• Y-values change by division

• Y-values change by multiplication

What is a key characteristic of exponential functions?

• Y-values change by multiplication or division

• Y-values change by subtraction

• Y-values remain constant

• Y-values change by addition

What is the main difference between linear and exponential functions?

• Both have constant additions

• Both have constant multipliers

• Linear functions have a constant addition, exponential functions have a constant multiplier
