fundamental difference between a polynomial function and an exponential function?
input
Exponential relationship!
"The" exponential function is ex. A more general exponential function is any function of the form AeBx, for any non-xero constants "A" and "B". Alternately, Any function of the form CDx (for constants "C" and "D") would also be considered an exponential function. You can change from one form to the other.
That means that the growth is equal to, or similar to, an exponential function, which can be written (for example) as abx, for constants "a" and "b". One characteristic of exponential growth is that the function increases by the same percentage in the same time period. For example, it increases 5%, or equivalently by a factor of 1.05, every year.
fundamental difference between a polynomial function and an exponential function?
A __________ function takes the exponential function's output and returns the exponential function's input.
it is a natural example of the exponential function
The parent function of the exponential function is ax
An example of a real life exponential function in electronics is the voltage across a capacitor or inductor when excited through a resistor. Another example is the amplitude as a function of frequency of a signal passing through a filter, when past the -3db point.
f(x) = 2x it is linear function
No. The inverse of an exponential function is a logarithmic function.
There are lots of situations that are not modelled by exponential functions. A simple example is when something increases linearly. For example, assuming you have a fixed daily income, and save all of it, the amount of money you have is directly proportional to the number of days worked. No exponential function there, whatsoever.There are lots of situations that are not modelled by exponential functions. A simple example is when something increases linearly.

If the question is, Is y = x4 an exponential function ? then the answer is no.An exponential function is one where the variable appears as an exponent.So, y = 4x is an exponential function.
