This week we continue the unit on exponential functions in Growing, Growing, Growing. Now that we have an understanding of what happens in an exponential function we can look further into the causes and effects with Growth Factors and Growth Rates. We will use several different exercises to discuss these new topics.This week we will look at situations that have fractional growth. To aid us in this investigation we will review the concepts of decimals, fractions, and percentages. an existing condition and see how that effects our graph. This will also expose us to the complete generic equation for an exponential function. We will compare this to the linear model for similarities and differences.
