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.

What is the opposite of linear?

I think the word you're looking for is "exponential". A linear expression is of the form ax + b whereas an exponential expression is of the form x^a + b.

Does the rule y 2 2x represent a linear or an exponential function?

The rule ( y = 2^{2x} ) represents an exponential function. In this equation, the variable ( x ) is in the exponent, which is a key characteristic of exponential functions. In contrast, a linear function would have ( x ) raised to the first power, resulting in a straight line when graphed. Thus, ( y = 2^{2x} ) is not linear but exponential.


How are linear and exponential functions alike?

They have infinite domains and are monotonic.


Is an exponential function linear?

No. An exponential function is not linear. A very easy way to understand what is and what is not a linear function is in the word, "linear function." A linear function, when graphed, must form a straight line.P.S. The basic formula for any linear function is y=mx+b. No matter what number you put in for the m and b variables, you will always make a linear function.


Why is exponential growth a problem?

It need not be. If the value of my assets showed exponential growth, I would certainly not see that as a problem!


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 .
