jdawg said:How would you classify this equation?: v=A√h
jdawg said:Hm... I'm trying to write a lab report and the question asks if the graph is linear or exponential. When I plugged in my values for v (the y axis) and √h (the x axis)to excel the graph came up as looking linear, but with a very slight curve to it. I know I have my axes right because my lab sheet told us which values to put on each axis.
An exponential graph is a type of graph that shows the growth or decay of a quantity over time. It is characterized by a curved line that increases or decreases at an increasing rate.
An exponential graph shows exponential growth or decay, while a linear graph shows a constant rate of change. In an exponential graph, the y-values increase or decrease at an increasing rate, while in a linear graph, the y-values increase or decrease at a constant rate.
The equation for an exponential graph is y = ab^x, where a is the initial value, b is the base, and x is the exponent.
No, the square root function is not considered an exponential graph. It is a type of power function, where the exponent is 1/2.
Yes, the square root function can be graphed on an exponential scale. However, the resulting graph would be a curved line, not a straight line like most exponential graphs.
