Content Goals:
1. Students will understand the difference between a linear and a exponential function and how to use each type in real world problems.
2. Students will understand the exponential function equation and what each part of the equation means.
3. Students will be able to use the plot of data which produces an exponential growth or decay to solve problems.
4. Students will be able pick between either a linear model or exponential model after looking at the graph of the data, the correlation coefficient, and the residual plot.
5. Students will be able to use the exponential model to predict future events.
