Construct a function to model a
linear relationship between two
quantities. Determine the rate of
change and initial value of the
function from a description of a
relationship or from two (x, y) values,
including reading these from a table
or from a graph. Interpret the rate of
change and initial value of a linear
function in terms of the situation it
models, and in terms of its graph or a
table of values.
Use the properties of exponents to
transform expressions for
exponential functions. For example
the expression 1.15t can be rewritten
as (1.151/12)12t ≈ 1.01212t
to reveal the
approximate equivalent monthly
interest rate if the annual rate is 15%.
