Students write an exponential function from data: the initial value gives a, and the constant ratio between successive outputs gives b. Populations, depreciation, and half-life situations are the standard contexts.
How the Algebra 1 EOC tests this benchmark
Tables use successive non-negative integer inputs, so the ratio of consecutive outputs is the intended path to the base. Answer options are restricted to the locked exponential forms, which means a decimal base outside those forms is always a distractor. Equation editor items accept any equivalent function.
