Unit 7 Exponential relationships
In this unit, you will build your understanding of exponential functions by comparing and contrasting them with linear functions. You will learn how to analyze data to determine whether the data have a linear, exponential, or other nonlinear relationship. You will also learn how repeated multiplication leads to exponential functions, and compare that to the constant addition of linear functions.
OUTLINE
Topic 19: Exponents and exponential models In this topic, you will explore exponents. When working with exponents, you will identify some consistent patterns that are connected to basic arithmetic operations. These patterns make working with exponential expressions easier.
This topic will also cover exponential functions. In earlier topics, you investigated linear functions. However, in real life, the relationship between two quantities is not always linear. In these situations, exponential functions may be used to represent the relationship.
In this topic, you will:
• Develop and understand the laws of exponents • Simplify numerical and variable expressions involving exponents • Learn how exponential growth and decay are represented in situations, tables, and graphs • Determine whether a relationship represented by a table, rule, graph or statement can be modeled by an exponential
function
Topic 20: Reasoning with quantities Solving problems that involve exponential relationships often involves reasoning with especially small and large quantities. In this topic, you will practice using scientific notation to represent and perform operations on these kinds of numbers. In this topic, you will:
• Analyze data and represent situations involving exponential relationships • Reason about the relative magnitude of quantities • Use scientific notation to represent quantities and solve problems
Topic 21: Problem solving with exponential functions Earlier in the unit, you learned about non-‐linear relationships that grow exponentially. In this topic, you will more closely investigate the behavior of the family of functions known as exponential functions. You will study the nature of exponential growth and decay using different representations, including tables, graphs, and equations. In this topic, you will:
• Analyze graphs to identify exponential functions • Learn how exponential sequences build from previous terms • Learn how to model exponential relationships as functions of the for y = abx • Learn how changes in the parameters a and b for y = abx affect the graph of an exponential function • Describe the behavior of exponential functions

19.1 CONSOLIDATION ACTIVITY In Smalltown, a snowstorm has caused the power to go out across the community. The school principal has decided to use a phone tree to contact all of the students of Smalltown High School to let them know that school has been canceled. During the first round of phone calls, the principal calls the first two students on the phone tree. During the second round of phone calls, those two students each call two other students, and so on until all of the students have been notified.
1. Complete the table below that shows how many students are called during each round of phone calls.
Round Number of students called on this round of phone calls
1 2

2. How many students will be called during the fourth round of phone calls?
3. How did you figure out how many students would be called during the fourth round of phone calls?
4. Describe the pattern you notice in the number of students called in each round of phone calls.
5. Not all phone trees are set up the same way. In some phone trees, each person is only responsible for calling one other person. In other phone trees, each person is responsible for calling three people, or four people, or more! Work with your partner to investigate another type of phone tree. Your teacher will assign you a specific type of tree to investigate. You will then make a poster to present the results of your investigation to the class. Type of phone tree: ___________________________________ Your poster should include the following:
a. A table
b. A graph
c. A diagram
d. How many people will be called on the fourth round of phone calls? How did you figure this out?

Lesson 19.5 Comparing linear and exponential growth
19.5 OPENER Jen and Ben are stacking checkers on a grid. They each have a grid that has six squares as shown in the figure.
Jen’s pattern: Start with 5 checkers on the first square of the grid. Each of the remaining squares will have 5 more checkers than the previous square. Ben’s pattern: Start with 1 checker on the first square of the grid. Each of the remaining squares will have twice as many checkers as the previous square. 1. Who will have more checkers on the fourth square on
the grid? How many more?
2. Who will have more checkers on the sixth square on the grid? How many more?
3. Suppose there were ten squares on the grid instead of six, and Jen and Ben continued stacking checkers according to
the patterns described above. Who would have more checkers on the tenth square? Explain how you can be sure of the answer without actually extending the pattern.
