Today's Learning Goal:

• Understand that a function is linear if it has a constant rate of change.

• Understand that a function is exponential if it has equal growth factors over equal intervals.

• Use representations to distinguish between functions that are linear, exponential, or neither by identifying the type of growth exhibited by the function.

• Find equal intervals on a continuous function to determine if it is linear or exponential.

• Build fluency in determining if a function is discrete or continuous and finding the domain of the function.
