Going up a few dress sizes can be caused by so many things that it's unlikely your doctor will look at weight gain alone as a potential thyroid disorder symptom. However, weight gain is one of the top reasons women show up in Dr. Millerâs office for a thyroid checkup.
Exponential Notation. Exponential notation is a method in mathematics that allows the representation of numbers in shorter form and aids in mathematical calculations. For example, 1,000,000 can be written as 1 x 10 6.
In an exponential function the independent variable is an exponent in an equation. Functions like y = 2x and y = 10(.5)x are exponential functions. An exponential function has a constant ratio between successive outputs. For example, in y = 2x, each time x grows by 1, y is multiplied by 2.
