Lesson 3.5 Exponential & Logarithmic Models

Homework Deal – Pick one of the following options: 1)Do 30 or so problems a night for the remaining 120 days of school 2)Do 1 problem this week, 2 the next week, 4 the following, 8 the next,…and so on for the remaining 26 weeks.

Exponential Growth Model: Exponential Decay Model: Used often in naturally occurring increases/decre ases such as living organisms.

Gaussian Model: Logistic Model: Called the “bell curve” where most values occur at some number. Can be used to model sales growth.

Logarithmic Model: Used in models with factors of values, like Richter scale.
