POW Exponential

The document asks students to graph and compare the functions f(x)=x^2 and f(x)=2x on the same axes from -2 to 8 using a three column table. It then poses six questions about differences and similarities between the graphs, how changing the variable as an exponent affects the graph, and which function would better represent bank account growth. Students are asked to attach the table and graphs and answer all questions in complete sentences.

Problem of the Week

Due Friday 15 February 2013


Explain the differences between f x x 2 and f x 2 x by creating a table and separately
graphing them. Use a table with three columns in it (x, x2, 2x) and vary values from -2 to 8.
Attach the tables and the graphs to this paper.
Answer the following questions in complete sentences:
Which one grows faster? Why?
