Understanding Linear and Exponential Functions

The video tutorial explains how to derive equations for linear and exponential functions using given values. It starts with a linear function, identifying the y-intercept and slope to form the equation. Then, it moves to an exponential function, determining the base and exponent to complete the equation. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the change in values to derive these equations accurately.
