HSF-LE.A.1
Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions.
a Prove that linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals, and that exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal intervals.
b Recognize situations in which one quantity changes at a constant rate per unit interval relative to another.
c Recognize situations in which a quantity grows or decays by a constant percent rate per unit interval relative to another.
