    UP:MA19.A1.25

    Vocabulary

    • Arithmetic and geometric sequences
    • Arithmetic sequence
    • Geometric sequence
    • Exponential function

    Knowledge

    Students know:
    • That linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals, and that exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal intervals.
    • Properties of arithmetic and geometric sequences.

    Skills

    Students are able to:
    • Accurately recognize relationships within data and use that relationship to create a linear or exponential function to model the data of a contextual situation.

    Understanding

    Students understand that:
    • Linear and exponential functions may be used to model data that is presented as a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).
    • Linear functions have a constant value added per unit interval, and exponential functions have a constant value multiplied per unit interval.
