Linear and Exponential Function Investigation


Part 1
Every week, Jasmine collects toys to take to the children’s wing of the local hospital. The number of toys
that she has donated since the beginning of the year is shown in the table below.
Weeks 1 2 3 4 5
Toys Donated 5 10 15

A. Does Jasmine donate the same number of toys each week? If so, how many? If not, how is the number
of toys changing?

B. Fill in the next two weeks on the table.

C. How long will it take until Jasmine has donated at least 30 toys? (How many weeks until she has
donated at least 30 toys?)

D. An equation to represent how many toys Jasmine has donated after each week is T = ________________

Part 2
Michael also donates to the children’s wing of the local hospital, but he donates school supplies instead.
The number of boxes of supplies that he has donated since the beginning of the year is shown in the table
below.
Weeks 1 2 3 4 5
Boxes Donated 2 4 8

A. Does Michael donate the same number of boxes each week? If so, how many? If not, how is the
number of boxes changing?

B. Fill in the next two weeks on the table.

C. How long will it take until Michael has donated at least 30 boxes? (How many weeks until he has

Part 3
Use your answers to Part 1 and Part 2 to answer the following questions.
A. Did Michael or Jasmine donate more in the first week? How much did they each donate during that
week?

B. Did Michael or Jasmine donate more in the third week? How much did they each donate during that
week?

C. Who donated 30 things first?

D. If we checked back in 10 weeks, who would have donated more during that week? How do you know?

E. After the 10th week, who would have donated more in total? How do you know?

Part 4
A. Copy the equations that represent Jasmine’s and Michael’s donations:
Jasmine’s Toy Donations T = ________________________
Michael’s School Donations B = ________________________

B. A linear equation changes __________________________ and is written like __________________________.

An exponential equation changes ____________________________ and is written like ________________________.

C. One of the equations is linear and one is exponential. Fill in the blanks in the following sentences.
Jasmine’s donations are __________________ because ________________________________________________________________.
Michael’s donations are __________________ because ________________________________________________________________.
