© Nuffield Foundation 2010 Exponential rates of change There are many examples of exponential growth and decay in everyday life, such as bacteria growth and radioactive decay. Population growth depends on the size of the current population. The rate of population growth can be used to predict the size of the population at any given time. The number of people in the population, N, at any time t, can be written as an exponential function: N = Ae rt where A and r are constants

© Nuffield Foundation 2010 Graphs of exponential growth and decay have distinctive shapes x y 0 Exponential growth curve x y 0 Exponential decay curve Think about … Can you suggest everyday examples of exponential growth or decay? What can you say about the gradient of the exponential growth graph? What can you say about the gradient of the exponential decay graph?

© Nuffield Foundation 2010 P Q The sketch shows points P and Q on a curve. Their coordinates can be used to find the gradient of the chord PQ. The nearer that Q is to P, the nearer the gradient of PQ is to the gradient of the tangent at P. In general, the gradient at a point P where x = a, on the curve y = f ( x ) is estimated using: gradient where h is a small increment. Estimating gradients by calculation

© Nuffield Foundation 2010 The spreadsheet can be used to investigate gradients at points on the curve y = e x. Think about … What do the formulae in each column do? Estimating gradients by calculation

Reflect on your work Compare the two methods you have used for finding the gradients of exponential functions. What are their advantages and disadvantages? What can you say in general about the gradient function of y = e kx ? © Nuffield Foundation 2012
