How does the graph of an exponential function differ from the graph of a linear function and how is the rate of change different?
The graph of a linear function is a line with a constant slope. The graph of an exponential function is a curve with a non-constant slope. The slope of a given curve at a specified point is the derivative evaluated at that point.
What is the purpose of semi logarithm?
The y-axis on a semi logarithmic chart is exponential. This way, when an exponential function is depicted in the chart, it will evolve as a linear function. You often do this to proove that the function is exponential and/or as a tool to help you find the equation for the function. For more see: http://www.answers.com/topic/semi-logarithmic-plot
Is y equals 102x exponential?
No, the equation y = 102x is not exponential. An exponential function is of the form y = a * b^x, where a and b are constants. In this case, the equation y = 102x is a linear function, as it represents a straight line with a slope of 102 and no exponential growth or decay.
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 is the difference between linear and exponential population growth?
Linear growth: The population adds the same number every week/month/year.Exponential growth: The population multiplies bythe same number every week/month/year.
