fundamental difference between a polynomial function and an exponential function?
What is the difference between evaluating an expression?
Exponential growth is when the amount of something is increasing, and exponential decay is when the amount of something is decreasing.
Expression has no answer. a equation has an answer
Exponent=e to the powerPower=m to the power ni.e Power=Generalized exponent

look in your textbook
Exponent=e to the powerPower=m to the power ni.e Power=Generalized exponent
it has to have an x number in it.
The variable.
For example, x0.5 (which is equal to the square root of x).
Algorithms which have exponential time complexity grow much faster than polynomial algorithms. The difference you are probably looking for happens to be where the variable is in the equation that expresses the run time. Equations that show a polynomial time complexity have variables in the bases of their terms. Examples: n^3 + 2n^2 + 1. Notice n is in the base, NOT the exponent. In exponential equations, the variable is in the exponent. Examples: 2^n. As said before, exponential time grows much faster. If n is equal to 1000 (a reasonable input for an algorithm), then notice 1000^3 is 1 billion, and 2^1000 is simply huge! For a reference, there are about 2^80 hydrogen atoms in the sun, this is much more than 1 billion.
(Any proper fraction)2 has a value less than 1 .
A variable expression includes variables.
