What are linear growth functions and exponential growth functions?
linear growth functions are function with grows linearly with 'x' like y = 3x, when x increases 10 times, y also increases 10 times they are of the form \(f(x)=ax+b\) note : for linear functions, degree = 1
exponential growth functions are those which grow much more faster, like y= 2^x or y=e^x look at diagram for comparison |dw:1382942967003:dw| basically linear function graphs are just straight lines
I had to picl 2 points. How do I go about substituting the letters in the formula? ?
2 points for what ? exponential fn, linear fn or both ?
whats the entire question ?
Create a linear growth function, h(x), that passes through both on-parabola points. Create an exponential growth function, j(x), that passes through at least one of the on-paraobla points.
what are on-parabola points. ? anything else given ?
A (0.32,0.55) B (0.28, 0.53)
ohh! so we are given 2 points and we need to find line function h(x) you know the formula for slope ? (you need slope to find linear function)
y+mx+b?
The slope of the line through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by : \(\huge m=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\) now,just put the values and find m. here , x1 =0.32 , y1 = 0.55 x2 =0.28 , y2 = 0.53
y=mx =tb
Ugh laptop keeps pressing random buttons
lol
gave you the formula, find slope...
