U6D1 Writing exponential equations given tables and graphs Name______________________________

Learning Target: I can present exponential functions algebraically, graphically, and numerically in tables, or by
verbal descriptions.

Key features of exponential functions in the form 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑏 𝑥 , where a ≠ 0, and b ≠ 1:


• As x increases by a constant amount, the y is multiplied by a constant factor, which means consecutive y-
values form a constant ratio and that constant ratio is the base, b known as the multiplier.
• To calculate the constant ratio, divide consecutive y-values “right over left”
• The y-intercept of the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑏 𝑥 is a.

Ex.1: The following table represents an exponential function. Write an equation in the form f(x) = 𝑎(𝑏)𝑥 .

Step 1: Identify the y-intercept: a = _____________

Step 2: Identify the multiplier. b = __________________

Ex.2: The graph at the right represents a bacterial population y after x days.
a) Write an exponential function that represents the population.

Steps:
Use the graph to make a table of values.
x
y

Identify the y-intercept (a):


Identify the common ratio (b):
Substitute your values into 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑏 𝑥

b) Find the population after 12 hours then after 5 days.

Ex.3: Jada received a gift of $180. In the first week, she spent a third of the gift money. She continues spending a
third of what is left each week thereafter.

Part 1: Fill in the table with the amount of money Jada would have left after each week, t.

Part 2: Which equation best represents the amount of gift money G, in dollars, she
has after t weeks? Be prepared to explain your reasoning and use the table to support
your thinking.
Ex. 4: Here are 2 graphs representing the function f given by f(x) = 10•2x and the function g defined by g(x)= a• bx.

a) Which function has a smaller y-intercept?

b) Is b greater than or less than 2? Explain how you know.

c) Write an equation that defines g. Show your reasoning.

d) f and g represent the number, in thousands, of social media followers of


two organizations as a function of years since 2010.
What does the intersection of f and g mean in this context?

Ex. 5: a) The graph represents the exponential function f. Find f(7).

b) Calculate the average rate of change over the interval x = 1 to x = 2.
