y=2(1.13)x

Does this function represent exponential growth or decay? What is the growth/decay RATE?

Exponential Growth

Rate: 0.13 or 13%

100

Yes or no:

The a in  y = a(b)^x is  the y-intercept

Yes, because a is the starting value.

100

Yes or no: does a unique y value repeat more than once in an exponential table?

No the y doesn't not repeat more than once because exponentials are one-to-one functions

How can you tell a table represents an exponential function? (Choose ALL answers that apply.)

A) the ratio of outputs is a constant

B) the outputs grow by adding the same number each time

C) the outputs are multiplied by the same number each time

D) all of the above 

A and C

500

Is the following exponential growth or decay? And, what is the % change?

 y = 1/2(.45)^-x 

Growth , 122.2% increase 

y = 1/2(2.222)^x

500

Convert to the form 

y =a(b)^x

f(x)=1/2(1.07)^(3x+11)

 f(0) = 1.05

y = 4(6)^x

B)  

y = 2(6)^x


C)

y = 6(3)^x


D) none of the above

D) none of the above; Correct answer: y =6(4)x
