What is the relation between the variables in the equation ?

Interpret the following exponential function: What is the growth/decay factor? What is the y-intercept?

The number of VHS movie rentals has declined since the year 2000 due to the popularity of DVDs, as the following table shows. Decide which scatterplot is representative of the data and determine if the data would be better modeled by a linear model or by an exponential model. Year 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 VHS Rentals (in millions) 10.5 8.1 6.3 5.5 4.1 3.8 3.1 Graph A Graph B

Make a scatter plot of the data below. Speed (mph) Stopping distance (ft) 10 12.5 20 36.0 30 69.5 40 114.0 50 169.5 60 249.0 70 325.5 Using the quadratic regression equation predict what your stopping distance would be if you were going 80 miles per hour.

Interpret the following exponential function: What is the growth/decay factor? What is the y-intercept?

What is the relation between the variables in the equation ?

From the table below, determine whether the data shows an exponential function. Explain why or why not. x –5 –4 –3 –2 y 0.5 2 8 32
Given the following equation of an exponential function determine the base, b, of the exponential model. Is the base a growth or decay factor?

To graph an exponential, you need to plot a few points, and then connect the dots and draw the graph. Where do you come up with values to use in the graph?
