Section 5-1 Growth & Decay: Integral Exponents
Exponential Growth • Santa has tracked costs and found out the cost to make a teddy bear is increasing by 9%. If the current cost to make a teddy bear is $4, how much will it cost in 5 years?
Exponential Decay • Santa also found out the number of children on the nice list in Rapid City, SD is decreasing at a rate of 5%. If there are currently 32,000 kids on the nice list how many will there be in 2015?
Exponential Growth & Decay • Exponential Growth: • Exponential Decay:
Exponential Growth & Decay • Rudolf has been sneaking into the candy canes factory, and his weight is increasing at a rate of 7% a year. If he currently weighs 200 lbs how much did he weigh in 2010? How much will he weigh in 2014 if Santa doesn’t catch him.
