Comparemos funciones lineales y exponenciales a medida que crecen.
Student-Facing Targets
Puedo usar tablas, cálculos y gráficas para comparar tasas de crecimiento de funciones lineales y exponenciales, y para predecir cómo cambian las cantidades con el tiempo.
For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity.
Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. For example, if the function gives the number of person-hours it takes to assemble engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an appropriate domain for the function.
Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).
Observe using graphs and tables that a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds a quantity increasing linearly, quadratically, or (more generally) as a polynomial function.
