19 Linear vs. Exponential Word Problems Linear Function Exponential Function f(x) = mx + b or f(x) = m(x x 1) + y 1 b is the starting value, m is the rate or the slope. m is positive for growth, negative for decay. f(x) = a b x a is the starting value, b is the base or the multiplier. b > 1 for growth, 0 < b < 1 for decay. See below for ways to find the base b. Choosing linear vs. exponential In growth and decay problems (that is, problems involving a quantity increasing or decreasing), here s how to decide whether to choose a linear function or an exponential function. If the growth or decay involves increasing or decreasing by a fixed number, use a linear function. The equation will look like: y = mx + b f(x) = (rate) x + (starting amount). If the growth or decay is expressed using multiplication (including words like doubling or halving ) use an exponential function. The equation will look like: f(x) = (starting amount) (base) x. Decide whether the word problem represents a linear or exponential function. Circle either linear or exponential.
