Let’s look at some exponential models! Advil has a half – life of 2 hours. If you take 1000 mg at 9 AM, how much will be left in your body at 3 PM (when the makers of Advil recommend taking another dose)?

Let’s look at some exponential models! Advil has a half – life of 2 hours. If you take 1000 mg at 9 AM, how much will be left in your body at 3 PM (when the makers of Advil recommend taking another dose)? Will all of the Advil ever be gone? Why or why not?

Compounding Exponential Behavior! If rate > 1, the amounts are growing (like in a good investment)! If rate < 1, the amounts are shrinking (like how your liver works)! If rate = 1, we’re bored.

Let’s create some more exponential models! Is the growth of the USA over the past 100 years or so exponential? Let’s take a look!

Let’s create some exponential models! Is the growth of the USA over the past 100 years or so exponential? Let’s take a look! What’s a good model for this growth?

Let’s create some exponential models! Is the growth of the USA over the past 100 years or so exponential? Let’s take a look! What’s a good model for this growth? How about Central Oregon’s population?
