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:
