Mathematical Models with Applications HS Mathematics Unit: 06 Lesson: 01 Exponential Models An exponential function is another type of non-linear function. Exponential functions have a common ratio that is raised to a power of x. a = initial value (0, a) b = common ratio Exponential growth Exponential decay b >1 0 < b <1 What was the common ratio for Population Explosion? What was the common ratio for Rebounding Ball? How did the common ratio affect the graphs of the exponential functions?
