LAC 28:CXLII.2519. Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Models

A. Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems. 1. Given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs, construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences to solve multi-step problems. 2. For exponential models, express as a logarithm the solution to abct = d where a, c, and d are numbers and the base b is 2, 10, or e; evaluate the logarithm using technology. B. Interpret expressions for functions in terms of the situation they model. 1. Interpret the parameters in a linear, quadratic, or exponential function in terms of a context.
