  1. Applied Calculus (MAT 121)Dr. Day Monday, March 19, 2012 Derivatives of Log Functions (5.5) Exponential Models (5.6) • Remember Your Derivative Rules! • Derivative Rule for Exponential Functions • Derivative Rule for Logarithmic Functions • Using and Applying these Derivatives MAT 121

  2. Exponential Functions Big Ideas • What are Exponential Growth and Exponential Decay? • What sort of applications use exponential functions as their mathematical models? • What algebra do we need to remember to work with exponential functions? • How do we undo exponentiation? We need the inverse function, called the logarithm function. • Where does calculus fit in to all of this? MAT 121

  3. Compound Interest Periodic Compounding • A: amount in account • P: amount of original deposit (principal) • i: annual interest rate, expresses as a decimal value • n: number of compounding periods per year • t: number of years the principal remains in account Continuous Compounding • A: amount in account • P: amount of original deposit (principal) • r: annual interest rate, expresses as a decimal value • t: number of years the principal remains in account MAT 121

  4. Review: Derivative Rules • Power Rule • Product Rule • Quotient Rule • Chain Rule MAT 121

  5. Derivatives of Exponential Functions • For y = ex: • For y= kex: • For y= eu(x): MAT 121

  6. Derivatives of Exponential Functions y= ex y= 3ex y= e-2x y= 5x3 + e5x y= (1+e2x)/(e-3x-x) MAT 121

  7. Using These Derivatives • Determine all intervals where the function f(x) = x2e-x is increasing and where it is decreasing. • Find the absolute extrema of the function. h(x) = ex2 - 4 on [-2,2]. • The percentage of alcohol in a person's bloodstream thrs after drinking 8 fluid oz of whiskey is modeled by the equation. A(t) = 0.29te-0.3t, 0 ≤ t ≤ 12. How fast is the percentage of alcohol in a person's bloodstream changing after 1/2 hr? After 5 hr? Round your answers to four decimal places. MAT 121

  8. Derivatives of Logarithmic Functions • For y = ln(x): • For y= kln(x): • For y= ln(u(x)): MAT 121

  9. Derivatives of Logarithmic Functions y= ln(x) y= ln(3x) y= x2ln(3x-1) y= e5xln(5x) y= (ln(3x))/(3ln(x)) MAT 121

  10. Exponential Growth & Decay Suppose that a quantity Q(t) is modeled by the exponential growth function Q(t) = 390e0.07t, where t is measured in minutes. Answer the following questions. • What is the growth constant? • What is the initial quantity (t = 0)? • Calculate Q(20). • How fast is the quantity Q changing at time t = 10 minutes? MAT 121

  11. Exponential Growth & Decay The growth rate of Escherichia coli, a common bacterium found in the human intestine, is proportional to its size. Under ideal laboratory conditions, when this bacterium is grown in a nutrient broth medium, the number of cells in a culture doubles approximately every 30 min. • If the initial population is 500 cells, determine the function Q(t) that expresses the growth of the number of cells of this bacterium as a function of time t (in minutes). • How long will it take for the initial population of 500 cells to grow to 200,000 cells? MAT 121

  12. Exponential Growth & Decay The growth rate of Escherichia coli, a common bacterium found in the human intestine, is proportional to its size. Under ideal laboratory conditions, when this bacterium is grown in a nutrient broth medium, the number of cells in a culture doubles approximately every 30 min. • If cells? the initial population is 500, determine the function Q(t) that expresses the growth of the number of cells of this bacterium as a function of time t (in minutes). • How long will it take for the initial population of 500 cells to grow to 200,000 MAT 121

  13. Exponential Growth & Decay Phosphorus-32 (P-32) has a half-life of 14.2 days. If 350 g of this substance are present initially, find the amount Q(t) present after t days. (Round your growth constant to four decimal places.) MAT 121
