7-1 Exponential & Logarithmic Functions Unit Objectives: Solve exponential and logarithmic equations Graph exponential and logarithmic functions Apply exponential functions/equations to real-world problems. Today’s Objective: I can model exponential growth and decay.
Exponential Function y-intercept: (0, a) • 0.0625 a = starting value • 0.25 b = Constant Multiplier • 0.5 Growth • 1 Decay • 2 • 4 Domain: • All real #s • 8 Range: Graph on calculator and sketch x-axis is an asymptote. a line a graph approaches
Exponential Growth and Decay You invest $1,000 in account for 6 years at 5% annual interest. What is your balance? Amount after t time periods # of time periods Initial Amount Growth factor: r = % growth or decay written as a decimal Growth: Decay:
Exponential Growth and Decay You invest $500 in account for 5 years at 3.5% annual interest. What is your balance? Jackson High school had 2,100 students at the start of this school year and it is predicted to decrease by 1.5% each year. How many students will be at Jackson at the start of the 2020 school year? When will the account be worth $1,000? Use calculator table. About 21 years
