Exponential Functions and Applications

Ohio's Learning Standards

IF.7: Graph functions expressed symbolically and indicate key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases. Include applications and how key features relate to characteristics of a situation, making selection of a particular type of function model appropriate.

Graph simple exponential functions, indicating intercepts and end behavior.

IF.8: Write a function defined by an expression in different but equivalent forms to reveal and explain different properties of the function.

Use the properties of exponents to interpret expressions for exponential functions.

LE.3: Observe using graphs and tables that a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds a quantity increasing linearly or quadratically.
