graph y = k^x where k is >1.

it will have a y-intercept of (0,1) because anything to the zero power = 1. It then increases rapidly in the 1st quadrant. The graph also passes thru (1,k) in te first quad. In the second quadrant, as the x value becomes more negative, the graph approaches the x -axis, this is called an asymptote, because the y values become smaller and smaller. All x values are negative in the 2nd quad thus creating reciprocals (defn of neg exponent). The graph passes thru (-1, 1/k) in 2nd quad.

EX y = 2^x passes thru (0,1) y-intercept

1st quad thru (1,2) because k =2 and then increases rapidly

2nd quad thru (-1, 1/2) remember to approach the x-axis to the left,

What does an exponential graph and logistic graph of growth look like?

Yuo cannot include a graphical illustration here. Take a look at the Wikipedia, under "exponential function" and "logistic function". Basically, the exponential function increases faster and faster over time. The logistics function initially increases similarly to an exponential function, but then eventually flattens out, tending toward a horizontal asymptote.

What would the graph look like on a position verse time plot with constant acceleration?

If the constant acceleration is positive, the graph would be an exponential (x2) graph. If there is constant acceleration, then velocity is always increasing, making the position change at an ever increasing rate.

What determines whether the on a graph of an exponential functions increases or decreases?

An exponential function such as y=b^x increases as x goes to infinity for all values in the domain. That is, the function increases from left to right anywhere you look on the graph, as long as the base b is greater than 1. This is called a "Growth" function. However, the graph is decreasing as x goes to infinity if (a) the opposite value of the input is programmed into the function, as in y=b^-x, or if (b) the base is less than 1, as in y=(1/2)^x.

What causes expotential growth?

Exponential growth is when the growth rate is a function of the amount. Another way of saying it is, the more there is, the higher the growth rate. This occurs in just about all populations including humans. This growth will continue at an exponential rate until some other limiting factor reduces the growth rate such as famine or disease. For more information look up the "Law of natural growth and decay."

What does acceleration look like as a graph?

The answer depends on what is plotted on the graph and what is happening with the acceleration then.
