EXPONENTIALS - Graphing Exponential Equations

VOCABULARY:

BASE: The term being multiplied by itself.  BIG term

CONSTANT MULTIPLIER: The sum of 1 and the rate of change in an exponential equation.

DECAY: A decreasing exponential equation; constant multiplier < 1

EXPANDED FORM: An exponential term written out with repeated multiplication

EXPONENT: A superscript notation that denotes the number of times a base is multiplied by itself

EXPONENTIAL EQUATION: (for growth or decay) y = A(1 + r)x, where A is the starting value, r is the rate of change, and x is the term or time

EXPONENTIAL FORM: An exponential term written with a base and an exponent (optional: coefficient)

GROWTH: An increasing exponential equation; constant multiplier > 1

RATE OF CHANGE: The percent/decimal of increase or decrease from term to term in an exponential equation

SHALLOW: A low slope, typically where the rise < run

STEEP: A tall slope, typically where the rise > run
