5.4.0 • Lesson Overview
In this lesson, you will learn about equations that represent exponential growth and the growth factor or constant ratio in an exponential function. You will apply this knowledge in a real-world activity about the growth of bacteria.
When you finish this lesson, you will be able to:
- Explain the connections between an equation and a graph that represents exponential growth.
- Write and interpret an equation that represents exponential growth.
Here are the activities that will help you reach those goals:
- 5.4.1: Exponent Rules
- 5.4.2: Zero Exponent Rule
