What is the difference between a linear and exponential function?
A linear function grows ( or shrinks) at a constant rate called its slope.An exponential function grows ( or shrinks) at a rate which increases(or decreases)over time. From a practical standpoint linear growth (or shrinkage) is simple and predictable. Exponential growth is essentially out of control and unsustainableand exponential decay soon becomes negligible.if y=az + b then y is a linear function of z. If y=aebz then y is an exponential function of z. If y= acbz then y is still an exponential function of z because you can substitute c=ek (so that k=logec) to give you y=aekbz .
What is the exponential form of 2187?
The exponential form of 2187 is 3^7. This is because 3 raised to the power of 7 equals 2187. In exponential form, the base (3) is raised to the power of the exponent (7) to give the result (2187).
What does the capital letter E mean at the end of a number on a calculator?
It means Error. If you try to divide a number by 0 it should give you the E. Also if you try to multiply numbers that will give a larger number than the calculator allows. I believe exponential calculators fix this by giving you a exponential answer.
How are inverse functions related to measurement conversions?
Despite the treatments you see in many sources, they are NOT, unless you are converting and exponential measurement into a Log. Transposing degrees Celsius to degrees F is often used as an example, but that is a misuse of the term "inverse", which is actually a cancellation of a function. A good example of an inverse function is the Log function X=10Y, the inverse of Y=10X. A common function transposed to the other variable is a reversal, transpose, or converse. Many object to "converse", since that usually means "if p = q, then q = p"; but that's what a transposed equation is. Teachers will give you a hard time on the converse-inverse issue, since it has infected many textbooks. Go the the Mathematica site, or a good college precalculus book. See related link.
Can you give you a example of quadratic function graph in daily life?
St. Louis Arch is an example of a quadratic graph. Umm... many arches are actually *catenaries*, visually indistinguishable from a parabola - this answer should be checked for accuracy.
