How Do You Solve a Word Problem Using an Exponential Function?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

In six days Tina gets exponentially better at the number of times she can jump rope. Let's create an equation and see how many times Tina can jump rope on the sixth day. First identify the variables. Next make a table, then plug in the numbers to represent the days. Solve the exponential equation. Wow! Unbelievable! But I don't think Tina can jump that many times in just six days of improvement. Check it out!
