Front

How do you identify exponential growth from a graph?

Back

Exponential growth is identified by a curve that rises steeply as 'x' increases, indicating that the function's value increases rapidly.

Front

How do you identify exponential decay from a graph?

Back

Exponential decay is identified by a curve that falls steeply as 'x' increases, indicating that the function's value decreases rapidly.

What is the y-intercept of an exponential function?

What is the starting point in the context of exponential functions?

Front

What does it mean for an exponential function to have a horizontal asymptote?

Back

A horizontal asymptote indicates that as 'x' approaches infinity, the function approaches a constant value, typically the x-axis (y=0) for exponential decay.

Front

What is the difference between exponential growth and linear growth?

Back

Exponential growth increases at a rate proportional to its current value, while linear growth increases by a constant amount.
