What is Exponential Growth?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Exponential functions often involve the rate of increase or decrease of something. When it's a rate of increase, you have an exponential growth function! The instructor discusses exponential function and how to determine if a value makes it a growth pattern. There are a few criteria for the formula, so watch this video and learn more about exponential function.
