Exploring the Exponential Function

Class members have the opportunity to quickly change the variables of an exponential graphs through the use of sliders on Desmos. Four graphs are given and young mathematicians, through the use of the graphing app, can discover which...

Does a linear or exponential model fit the data better? Guide your class through an exploration to answer this question. Pupils create an exponential and linear model for a data set and draw conclusions, based on predictions and the...

What does an exponential pattern look like in real life? After viewing a video of the population growth of bacteria, learners use the real-life scenario to collect data and graph the result. Their conclusion should be a new type of...

Concepts from the last few videos, particularly exponential growth and decay functions, are covered in this video about word problems. Viewers can apply their new (or growing) algebraic knowledge to solve the word problems along with Sal.

My great-great-great-grandfather would owe how much? The resource provides a scenario of finding the amount due on a library fine compounded continuously one hundred years later. The presenter substitutes values into the exponential...

How can you model exponential decay? Explore different situations involving exponential decay functions and decreasing linear functions by performing activities with MandM candy, popcorn kernels, and number cubes.

Practice analyzing the end behavior of two functions that model similar real-world relationships, where one function is exponential and the other is polynomial. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try...

Exponential functions often involve the rate of increase or decrease of something. When it's a rate of increase, you have an exponential growth function! The instructor discusses exponential function and how to determine if a value makes...

Explore the world of domain and range of a function in this mini-lesson. Learn how to find the domain and range of a graph, trigonometric functions, exponential functions, and domain and range equation. Includes examples and practice...

Does this word problem describe exponential growth? Is something increasing? Is it increasing at a constant rate? How much is it increasing? Use the function formula for exponential growth to figure out this problem.
