∙ 12y ago
y = ax, where a is some constant, is an exponential function in x
y = xa, where a is some constant, is a power function in x
If a > 1 then the exponential will be greater than the power for x > a

What is difference between nonlinear equation and transcendental equation?
A polynomial equation of order >1 that is, where the power of the variable is greater than 1 is a non linear function. A transcendental function is one that cannot be expressed as a finite number of algebaraic operations (addition, multiplication, roots). The exponential and trigonometric functions (and their inverses) are examples.
What are differences between linear an exponential equations?
A linear equation is one in which the variable is raised to the first power (i.e. x, not x squared or x cubed or anything else). An example would be y = mx + c. In an exponetial equation the variable is part of the exponent, e.g. y = 3^x + c.
Is 1 divided by x exponential?
no it is a polynomial. exponential is a number to the x power (3^x)
What can't linear equations have in order to be a linear equation?
To be a linear equation, the equation must be set equal to Y. Also, it can't have any square roots, or any variables on the bottom of a fraction. In general, the terms of a linear equation must be either first-degree polynomials with respect to the variables, constants, or products of the two. This disallows terms involving trigonometric, logarithmic, exponential, hyperbolic, and power expressions (except for the power of 1) and their inverses.
What is 40 in exponential form?
2 with a power of 2x 5 with a power of 2
What is the difference between power functions and exponential functions?
A power function has the equation f(x)=x^a while an exponential function has the equation f(x)=a^x. In a power function, x is brought to the power of the variable. In an exponential function, the variable is brought to the power x.
How do you find out if a problem is linear or exponential?
You find out if a problem is linear or exponential by looking at the degree or the highest power; if the degree or the highest power is 1 or 0, the equation is linear. But if the degree is higher than 1 or lower than 0, the equation is exponential.

How do you know if an equation is exponential?
Basically, in an exponential expression (or equation) you have the independent variable in the exponent. For example: 5 times 10x The general form of an exponential function can be written as: abx or: aekx where a, b, and k are constants, and e is approximately 2.718. Note that just having a power doesn't mean you have an exponential equation. For example, in x3 the variable does NOT appear in the exponent, so it is not an exponential expression.
What is an equation that involves a number raised to a variable power?
An exponential equation.
Is y -0.75x a quadratic linear or exponential equation?
This is a linear equation. This is because the x term is only raised to the power one if it had contained an x^2 phrase it would have been quadratin, and if it had contained an n^x term it would have been exponential.
Is y equals 2 to the x power a linear equation?
If you mean y = 2^x, then no, it is not a linear equation. This is an exponential equation. The graph of this exponential equation would start out near zero on the left-hand side (there is a horizontal asymptote at y = 0) and would gradually increase as you move to the right: overall, it has a curved shaped. If you mean y = 2x, then yes, it is a linear equation.
What is an example of an exponential equation whose only solution is 4?
2^x = 16In general, "exponential" implies that the variable part is in the exponent. Write any equation with a power of 4, do the calculation, then replace "4" with "x".
The difference between an exponential number and a power of 10?
An exponential number is any number raised to a power, while a power of 10 specifically refers to numbers of the form 10^n, where n is an integer. So, all powers of 10 are exponential numbers, but not all exponential numbers are powers of 10.
What is the difference between a line graph and a linear equation?
A linear equation, when plotted, must be a straight line. Such a restriction does not apply to a line graph.y = ax2 + bx +c, where a is non-zero gives a line graph in the shape of a parabola. It is a quadratic graph, not linear. Similarly, there are line graphs for other polynomials, power or exponential functions, logarithmic or trigonometric functions, or any combination of them.
What is the difference between a polynomial and a quadratic equation?
A quadratic equation is of degree 2, that is, the highest power is 2. A polynomial is not an equation, however, you can convert it into an equation by setting the polynomial equal to zero for example. A polynomial EQUATION can be of any degree: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
What is 8 to the 2nd power in exponential form?
8², that is the exponential form. :)
