Linear, Quadratic & Exponential Functions
In the real world, people often gather data and then must decide what kind of relationship (if any) they
think best describes their data.
You may be able to use the graph of data points to determine a model for the data.

Another way to decide which kind of relationship (if any) best describes a data set is to use
patterns.

Math Objectives
Students will use a table and a graph to compare the changes in
linear and exponential expressions as x increases.
Students will recognize that as x increases, a linear expression
increases at a constant rate (additively) while an exponential
function increases multiplicatively.
Students will recognize that an exponential function with a
positive base will never be less than or equal to 0, but will get
smaller and smaller as x decreases.
Students will determine whether a graph represents a linear or an
exponential function.
Students will use appropriate tools strategically (CCSS
Mathematical Practice).
Students will construct viable arguments and critique the
reasoning of others (CCSS Mathematical Practice).
Vocabulary
exponential function

2. a. As x increases from 2 to 3, how does the value of 3x change?
Answer: The value of 3x increases by 3.
b. As x increases by 1, describe the pattern in the numbers in the 3x column of the table.
Answer: The numbers increase by 3 each time.
Teacher Tip: At this point, check for student understanding of repeated
addition of 3.
c. As x increases from 2 to 3, how does the value of 3x change?
Answer: It triples; it increases 3 times as much.
d. As x increases from 3 to 4, how does the value of 3x change?
Answer: It triples; it increases 3 times as much.
e. As x increases by 1, describe the pattern in the numbers in the 3x column of the table.
Answer: The numbers are being multiplied by 3. The values triple.
Teacher Tip: Since the rate of change for 3x is constant, students might
initially examine the values of 3x in terms of rate of change. For instance, a
student could respond "the value of 3x increases by 18." In this case, you
might ask the student if this pattern holds true for all changes in the value
of 3x. Since it does not, encourage the student to search for another
pattern in the table.
3. Complete the bottom row of the table for x = 6. How did you determine the values for 3x and 3x?
Answer: Students might say that they added 3 to 15 (previous row) to get 18 and multiplied
243 by 3 to get 729, or any other acceptable method.
x 3x 3x
6 18 729
Comparing Linear and Exponential Functions TEACHER NOTES MATH NSPIRED
©2011 Texas Instruments Incorporated 4 education.ti.com
4. Why are the values for 3x increasing faster than the values for 3x?
Answer: The values of 3x are increasing faster than 3x because you multiply the previous
number by 3 instead of adding 3 to the previous number. When a whole number greater than
1 is repeatedly multiplied by 3, the result gets greater faster than when you repeatedly add 3.
For example, if the whole number were 2, 2 ∙ 3 = 6 while 2 + 3 = 5. The product is greater at
the beginning, and the sum will never catch up. 2 ∙ 3 ∙ 3 = 18 while 2 + 3 + 3 = 8.
Teacher Tip: While multiplying whole numbers greater than 1 by a positive
integer greater than 1 makes the product increase, students should
recognize that when a fraction between 0 and 1 is multiplied by a constant
multiplier greater than one, the results get smaller and smaller. For
example, 1/3, 1/9, 1/27, and so on.
You might want to have students reflect on how multiplication works as
repeated addition, that is 3 ∙ 2 means two 3s or 3 + 3. Thus, comparing 3x
to 3x going from x = 5 to x = 6 means for 3x you have five 3s or 3 + 3 + 3 +
3 + 3 and the next term would have six 3s or (3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3) + 3 where
you added a 3. With 35, the next term would be found by multiplying 3
5 by 3
or adding 35 three times: 3 ∙ 3
5 = (3
5 + 3
5 + 3
5). Two 3
5s were actually
added to the previous term.
5. The function f(x) = 3x is called an exponential function, while the function f(x) = 3x is a linear
function. Describe the difference in the two functions.
Answer: A linear function has the variable as a factor in defining the function. In an exponential
function, the variable is part of the exponent.

6. Drag the point to the right to produce two graphs—one solid, one
dashed. Use the information from the table in question 1 to
identify which graph represents an exponential function and
which graph represents a linear function. Justify your answer.
Answer: The dashed graph remains closer to the x-axis and is f(x) = 3x because it is
increasing at a slower rate than the graph f(x) = 3x. The graph of f(x) = 3x increases at a
constant rate, 3 units vertically for every 1 unit horizontally. The solid graph, f(x) = 3x,
increases at an increasing rate.
7. How do the graphs of f(x) = 3x and f(x) = 3x support your response to question 4?
Answer: When comparing the y-values for f(x) =3x, each time x increases by 1 unit, the y-value
increases by 3 units. For f(x) = 3x, each time x increases by 1 unit, the new y-value is 3 times the
previous y-value.
8. Aaron says that the values of f(x) = 5x will increase faster than the values of the linear
function f(x) = 5x. Do you agree or disagree? Justify your answer.
Answer: I agree with Aaron because for f(x) = 5x, the y-values will be multiplied by 5 every
time the x-value is increased by 1. For f(x) =5x, 5 will be added to the previous y-value each
time the x-value is increased by 1.
TI-Nspire Navigator Opportunity
Use Quick Polls to determine the number of students agreeing with the statement in question 8.
Teacher Tip: This might be a good time to ask students to give you
examples of other linear or exponential functions.

Wrap Up
Upon completion of the discussion, the teacher should ensure that students understand:
Expressions of the form 3x increase by repeated addition.
Expressions of the form 3x increase by repeated multiplication.
Graphs of linear functions increase at a constant rate.
Graphs of exponential functions of the form y = bx, where b is greater than 1 increase faster
than graphs of linear functions of the form y = bx.
Exponential functions of the form y = bx, where b is greater than 0 will never have values for
f(x) that are 0 or negative.

Notes
Question/Answer
Problem 1
In problem 1 students name the function.
Students observe the given function. They then decide if the graph is a function using the vertical line test; then classify the function by clicking on the circle of the correct function name.
Problem 2
In problem 2 students graph more than one equation on the same graph of the linear function family. The students then compare and contrast the graphs.
On page 2.2, students graph three linear functions with different slopes and intercepts.
On page 2.3, students’ answers will vary. An example: All three graphs were straight lines but they had different slopes and y-intercepts.
Problem 3
In problem 3 students graph more than one equation on the same graph of the quadratic function family. The students then compare and contrast the graphs.
On page 3.2, students graph quadratic equations with different x-coefficients and y-intercepts.
On page 3.3, students’ answers will vary. An example: All four graphs were parabolas but they had different y-intercepts, different vertices, and different lines of symmetry.
Problem 4
In problem 4 students graph more than one equation on the same graph of the exponential function family. The students then compare and contrast the graphs.
On page 4.2, students graph exponential equations with different exponents and base.
On page 4.3, students’ answers will vary. An example: All four graphs were didn’t touch the x-axis. They crossed the y-axis at different coordinates. They are all increasing.
Problem 5
In problem 5 students graph more than one equation on the same graph of the absolute value function family. The students then compare and contrast the graphs.
On page 5.2, students graph absolute value equations.
On page 5.3, students’ answers will vary. An example: All of the graphs form a “v”. The graph with the negative on the outside of the absolute value made the graph upside-down. The others were shifted.
Problem 6
In problem 6 students graph more than one equation on the same graph of the sinusoidal function family. The students then compare and contrast the graphs.
On page 6.2, students graph sinusoidal equations.
