1. Math 8C Exponential Relationships
Standards:
Model exponential functions using tables, graphs, and equations, and translate between the three.
Given a context, determine the growth/decay factor and rates.
Use both recursive and explicit equations to notate exponential functions given a context.
Identify key features of an exponential function.
Use function notation to explain the relationship between domain and range.
Translate exponential functions, f(x), vertically by adding a constant, f(x)+k.
Compare exponential and linear functions showing that exponential functions are multiplicative and linear functions are additive: Differences on tables, shape of graphs, and structure of equations.

15. Exponential Relationships
These patterns of change show exponential growth. This is when the growth in a situation is multiplicative, rather than additive.
Multiplicative growth is when you multiply by a constant number to get the next value in a table or graph. (Linear relationships are additive)
The fixed number you multiply by is called the growth factor

16. Make a Table & Graph
When you were born, your grandparents put $5 in a bank account for your college fund. Every birthday since, they have doubled the amount they put in from the previous year, but had to stop after 10 years. Why do you think they had to stop?
