Intro to Exponential Functions

What pattern do you see in this table?

• The number of circles increases by 2 from one stage to the next

• The number of circles doubles from one stage to the next

• The number of circles increases by 2 then by 4 for the rest of the stages

• There is no pattern

Which one is an exponential function?

• A

• B

• C

• B and C

• None of them.

Observe the patterns on this table, what does Jada and Noah's stage 5 look like? (Hint: more than one answer!)

Which rule should I use to simplify?

• Power Rule

• Multiplication Rule

• Quotient Rule

• None of these.

Which function represents the table of values?

The table represents exponential growth.

• True

• False

The table represents exponential decay.

• True

• False

Find the equation of the exponential function represented by the table.
