1.

Compare different characteristics of each type of function by filling in the cells of each table as completely as possible.

Type of growth

What kind of sequence corresponds to each model?

Make a table of values

Find the rate of change

Graph each equation.

Compare the graphs.

What is the same?

What is different?

Find the -intercept for each function.

2.

Find the -intercepts for the following equations.

a.

b.

3.

Explain how you can find the -intercept of a linear equation and how that is different from finding the -intercept of an exponential equation.

Set

Decide which form of an equation will be the most efficient to use based on the given information.

Choices include:

Linear: slope-intercept form, point-slope form, recursive form

Exponential: explicit and recursive forms

Jasmine has been working to save money and wants to have an equation to model the amount of money in her bank account. She has been depositing a month consistently. She doesn’t remember how much money she deposited initially; however, on her last statement, she saw that her account has been open for months and currently has in it. Create an equation for Jasmine.
