Domain - Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Models
Cluster - Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.
[AI.F-LE.A.1.a] - Prove that linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals, and that exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal intervals.*
- Exponential function
A function of the form y = a •bx where a > 0 and either 0 < b < 1 or b > 1. The variables do not have to be x and y. For example, A = 3.2 • (1.02)t is an exponential function. - Linear function
A function with an equation of the form y = mx + b, where m and b are constants
[AI.F-IF.C.8.b] -
Use the properties of exponents to interpret expressions for exponential functions. Apply to financial situations such as identifying appreciation and depreciation rate for the value of a house or car some time after its initial purchase: Vn=P(1+r)n. For example, identify percent rate of change in functions such as y = (1.02)t, y = (0.97)t, y = (1.01)12t, and y = (1.2)t /10, and classify them as representing exponential growth or decay.
[AI.F-BF.A.2] -
Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively and with an explicit formula them to model situations, and translate between the two forms.*
[AI.F-LE.A.1.b] -
Recognize situations in which one quantity changes at a constant rate per unit interval relative to another.*
[AI.F-LE.A.1.c] -
Recognize situations in which a quantity grows or decays by a constant percent rate per unit interval relative to another.*
