Thursday January 23rd and Friday January 24th.

Vocabulary:

  • Decay Factor
  • Exponential Decay Function
  • Exponential Function
  • Exponential Growth Function
  • Growth Factor

Objectives:

  • Interpret key features of exponential functions represented by graphs, tables and equations.
  • Graph transformations of exponential functions showing intercepts and end behavior.

Essential Understanding:

  • The rate of exponential growth or decay is the ratio between two consecutive output values in an exponential function.

Standards:

  • HSF.IF.C.7.E Graph exponential and logarithmic functions, showing intercepts and end behavior…
  • HSF.LE.A.2: Construct exponential functions given a graph, a description of a relationship, or a table.
  • HSF.LE.B.5: Interpret the parameters in an exponential function in terms of context.
