This is how exponential functions increase or decrease

What is through multiplication

100

When simplified, the result of 25x5/10x2

What is 5x3/2

100

What is a curve downward with a start on the y-axis at 1200

100

The amount of money earned after a beginning deposit of $135 in a 9 month CD earning 4.5% interest written as an exponential function and answer.

What is s(9) = 135(1.045)9 = $200.62

What is x4y3

200

When simplified, the expression 12c2/4c8 becomes

What is 3/c6

200

How the graph of the function f(x) = 2x + 3 differs from and is the same as the graph of g(x) = 3(2)x

What is a difference of f(x) is a straight line and g(x) is an exponential curve with the same y-intercept

200

An exponential function with a starting value of 12 has increased to 27 by day 3 with the rate rounded to the nearest hunderedth.

(0,12) and (3,27) in stat f(x) = 12(1.31)x

300

When like bases raised to a power is being divided

What is subtract the top exponent minus bottom exponent

300

When you start with 12 bacteria that increase by doubling every hour, this is how many you would have after 12 hours

What is 49,152 bacteria

300

The reason why the answers to 2x0 and (2x)0 are different is

What is in 2x0 only the x has the power of 0 so it would be 2*1 = 2 whereas (2x)0 the whole term is being raised to the power of 0 so it would equal 1
