Comparing Linear and Exponential Functions

Algebra I Lesson 57: How can I differentiate between a linear situation versus an exponential situation by examining key words from a problem and looking for patterns on a table?

You CAN compare linear and exponential functions by examining tables, graphs, and word
problems.

Criteria for Success
1. Identify keywords in linear situations that represent the slope and y-intercept and use those
values to form a linear function.
2. Identify keywords in exponential situations that represent the initial value and the rate and
use those values to form an exponential function.
3. Differentiate between a function that represents a pattern of constant addition/subtraction
and a function that represents a pattern of constant multiplication from a table of values.
