Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Models

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Viewers play a game with Sal, in which he presents three different data sets that come from either linear, quadratic, or exponential functions. In solving this puzzle, Sal manages to not only provide a strong definition of each function, but to learn to differentiate each one from the other - and why this would be useful later in algebra.
