    Exponential Graphs

    Uploaded by

    felvin kwofie
    Exponential graphs have the form y = ax where a is a positive constant. The graph of y = 2x is drawn, showing that as x increases, y increases exponentially. By estimating from the graph, when 2x = 3, x is approximately 1.6. Estimating the gradient of the graph at x = 1.5 gives a value of about 1.9.
