Question

How can graphs be created from verbal expressions? How can the key features of an exponential function be compared through tables and graphs? What effect will introducing a constant have on an exponential function?

Answer 1

Answer: To create graphs from verbal expressions, first you have to write the verbal expression as a function. Then, you can create a table of values to look for a pattern and graph the function.

The key features of any function can be compared in tables and graphs by creating the matching graph for the function. Then, you can compare the different aspects of the graph.

When you add a constant to an exponential graph, it will be translated up or down. It will shift up with a positive number and shift down with a negative number.
