Illustrative Mathematics: F Le Exponential Growth Versus Linear Growth Ii
In this task, students compare exponential and linear functions and find that exponential functions with a base larger than one eventually exceed in value any given linear (or polynomial) function if the value of the input is...

Illustrative Mathematics: F Le Exponential Growth Versus Polynomial Growth
In this problem, students compare the growth of exponential functions versus polynomial functions and find that an exponential function takes larger values than a cubic polynomial function provided the input is sufficiently large. Aligns...
