An exponential growth function is one where the rate of change increases by the same factor over equal time intervals, such as yearly interest on a bank account increasing at 8% each year or a rabbit population tripling annually. Exponential growth can be modeled by the function y=C(1+r)t, where C is the initial amount, r is the growth rate, and t is time. To graph an exponential function, make a table of x-y pairs of values, plot the points on a graph, and draw a curve through the points that best models the relationship.
