Unit 3 introduces the student to the non-linear functions and their applications. Exponential growth and decay (e.g. investment interest, plant growth, etc.), real-life quadratic functions (e.g. vertical motion problems, min/max problems) breathe life into these challenging abstract mathematical models.
