Deck 18: Modeling Exponential Data

Question 1

Which of the following data plots may be modeled by an exponential function? ​

A) ​
B) ​
C) ​
D) ​

Answer 1

​

Question 2

Evenly spaced data can be modeled by an exponential function if successive quotients are all the same.

Answer 2

True

Question 3

If data are exponential, then only the first data point can be used to determine the initial value.

Answer 3

False

Question 4

Data that decrease at an increasing rate are not exponential data.

Question 5

Data that show a constant percentage change can be modeled by an exponential function.

Question 6

Which of the following data plots may be modeled by an exponential function? ​

A) ​
B) ​
C) ​
D) ​

Question 7

If data are exponential, but the data are not measured in 1-unit increments, it is necessary to adjust the successive quotients in order to get the growth/decay factor.
