What is the differences between Linear and Exponential functions ?
A linear function has a constant slope and usually comes in a form such as y=x while exponential functions have a slope that changes throughout the function such as y=x2
Linear function..: has a constant slope and comes out usually as a form like : y=x and an expotional have a slope that may chance throughout the functions like ::: y=x2
exponential**
Hope this helped!
LINEAR FUNCTION \(\large\color{slate}{ y=mx^c+b }\), where \(\large\color{slate}{m }\) and \(\large\color{slate}{b }\) are any real numbers, and \(\large\color{slate}{ c }\) is 0 or 1. (x is the independent, and y is the dependable variable)
EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION \(\large\color{slate}{ y=a(b)^x }\), where where \(\large\color{slate}{ b>0 }\) and \(\large\color{slate}{ a }\) can be any real number
And by the way, \(\large\color{slate}{ y=x^m }\) (where m is constant) is NOT an exponential function
