Writing Exponential Functions from Tables

The video tutorial explains how to write exponential functions from tables. It covers the form of exponential functions, identifying the y-intercept (A value) and the common ratio (B value), and provides step-by-step instructions. Several examples demonstrate how to calculate A and B values using consecutive points from tables, ensuring the calculations are reasonable. The tutorial emphasizes checking the multiplication of values to verify the correctness of the derived function.

What is the general form of an exponential function?

• y = a - b^x

• y = a * b^x

• y = a + b^x

• y = a / b^x

What does 'a' represent in the exponential function formula?

• Y-intercept of the function

• Variable of the function

• Slope of the function

• Base of the exponent

How do you find the 'b' value when given a table of values?

• Subtract y2 from y1

• Divide y2 by y1

• Add y2 to y1

• Multiply y2 by y1

If 'a' is 5 and the function multiplies by 5 each step, what is the function's formula?

• y = 5 + 5^x

• y = 5 / 5^x

• y = 5 - 5^x

• y = 5 * 5^x

What is the exponential function formula if 'a' is 0.25 and 'b' is 4?

• y = 0.25 / 4^x

• y = 0.25 * 4^x

• y = 0.25 - 4^x

• y = 0.25 + 4^x
