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 unsustainable
and 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 .

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.
What is the difference between rational function and linear function?
t is the diffrence between a rational funcrion and a linerar and polynomial function
What is the difference between a linear and quadratic function?
A linear function is a line where a quadratic function is a curve. In general, y=mx+b is linear and y=ax^2+bx+c is quadratic.
Give na example whic isnot exponential function?
f(x) = 2x it is linear function
Is the relationship linear or exponential?
