1. Describe an exponential growth pattern. Include key properties such as growth factors.
A pattern in which as one axis increases steadily, the other axis increases by an increasing value. This value must be determinable by an exponential form. If the axis decreases as the other increases, it is called an exponential decay pattern. The growth factor is the base in the equation.
2. How are exponential factors similar to and different from the linear functions you worked with in earlier Units?
Linear functions follow a straight line, and an integer value for the slope. Exponential functions simply have an exponential slope, and can also have a Y-intercept. They have a curve similar to inverse variation, but as one axis increases, the other one must also increase.
