Oh. Yeeeeah. Uh, common... yeah.

She is not just a typical relation

Table shows, we suppose, the very foundation

O-ho. Thinking polynomial?

What is this, what's amiss, I can't use x-squared

Degree three, woe is me, find I'm unprepared

O-ho. Here's a testimonial.

Uh-oh, yup.

[Rapping]

So you think it's a tricky situation

Doing your subtracting, yup, finding frustration

First diff'rence, next diff'rence, should've tried a power

x as an exponent, (so) it can tower

O-ho. Need a common ratio!

[Chorus]

See you should be dividing

Those numbers you're deriding.

So power up, it's essential

That you find an exponential model.

Come on, that's right

Asymptote at zero?

Like a superhero

That base is really influential

When you find an exponential model.

Common, that's right, ratio

What's in front, let's be blunt,

The y-intercept

Where you start, plays a part, this we must accept

O-ho, the initial value's shown.

Oh yeah.

Could go up, could go down,

Better check that base

Can't be one, that's no fun, but is a test case

O-ho, soon you will be in the zone.

No, no, no...

[Chorus]

See you should be dividing

Those numbers you're deriding.

So power up, it's essential

That you find an exponential model.

Come on, that's right

Asymptote at zero?

Like a superhero

That base is really influential

When you find an exponential model.

Common, that's right, ratio

[Rapping]

Consider how we began, and give this a scan

Asymptote can move and then, gone is your plan

Handling it first, that you'll have to do

Hopefully you know - what will make this model true?

This kinda thing, it will happen normally

I'm thinking that is why we work so formally

With the refit, divide to get it,

A ratio.

f(x) = 2(3)^x + 5 .

[Chorus]

See you should be dividing

Those numbers you're deriding.

So power up, it's essential

That you find an exponential model.

Asymptote at zero?

Like a superhero

That base is really influential

When you find an exponential model.

Common, that's right, rati-rati--

Geometric means

Just find an exponential

If no in-betweens

That pattern goes sequential.

O-ho, need a common ratio!

Common, that's right, ratio. Huh.
