Compare Linear and Exponential Functions
Exercise 1
The linear function is in red. The exponential function is in purple.
Use the sliders:
Set a=1
Set b to a whole number greater than 1 (example: 2, 3, or 4).
When b>1, how does the value of y change for each function as x increases? Give examples for the output for each function at x=-1, 0, 1, 2, and 2.
Exercise 2
The linear function is in red. The exponential function is in purple.
Use the sliders:
Set a=1
Set b to a whole number greater than 1 (example: 2, 3, or 4).
When 0<b<1, how does the value of y change for each function as x increases? Give examples for the output for each function at x=-1, 0, 1, 2, and 2.
