Exponential Growth
Summary
The content delves into the patterns of exponential growth, highlighting how the size of powers changes with increasing exponents across different types of bases.
- Exponential growth varies significantly based on the base value, with distinct patterns for bases greater than one, less than one, negative bases less than negative one, and negative fractions.
- For a positive base greater than one, powers increase rapidly, becoming inconceivably large with higher exponents.
- A positive base less than one results in powers decreasing rapidly, approaching zero as exponents increase.
- Negative bases less than negative one exhibit an alternating pattern of exponential growth, with absolute values increasing but alternating between positive and negative.
- Negative fractions (bases between zero and negative one) also show an alternating pattern, but the absolute values decrease, approaching zero in a zig-zag manner above and below the zero line.
- The impact of increasing exponents on the size of powers depends on the base's value, with specific patterns for different base categories.
