Exponential Functions Algebra I Section 7-5 Exponential Functions
growth functions: increase from left to right integer values for base - decay functions: decrease from left to right fraction values for base
- domain: all real numbers - range: look at picture either all positive numbers or all negative numbers
Graphing Exponential Functions Step 1) find y when x =0 Step 2) determine if function is growth or decay Step 3) sketch
5. DEPRECIATION The function V = 22,000 ● 0 5. DEPRECIATION The function V = 22,000 ● 0.82t models the depreciation of the value of a new car that originally cost $22,000. V represents the value of the car and t represents the time in years from the time the car was purchased. What is the value of the car after one year?
Identify Exponential Behavior - look for regular intervals of the x-values counting by: 1’s, 2’s, 5’s, … - look for common factor (multiply or divide) of the y-values
