Section 7-5: Exponential Functions – Exponential Growth, Day 1 Exponential Function – A function that can be written in the form , where a cannot be 0, b > 0, and b cannot be 1. Examples of exponential functions: , , or Exponential Growth Equation where Domain and Range Intercepts End Behavior

Section 7-5: Exponential Functions – Exponential Growth, Day 1 Graph of Exponential Growth

Section 7-5: Exponential Functions – Exponential Growth, Day 1 Ex) Graph , Find the y-intercept, and state the domain and range. You will have to create a table to graph! What is the pattern on the table? x y -2 -1 1 2

Section 7-5: Exponential Functions – Exponential Decay, Day 2 Equation where Domain and Range Intercepts End Behavior

Section 7-5: Exponential Functions – Exponential Decay, Day 2 Graph of Exponential Decay

Section 7-5: Exponential Functions – Exponential Decay, Day 2 Ex) Graph , Find the y-intercept, and state the domain and range. You will have to create a table to graph! What is the pattern on the table? x y -2 -1 1 2

Section 7-6: Exponential Growth and Decay Patterns, Day 1 Equation for Exponential Growth: a: initial amount t : time y: final amount r: rate of change expressed as a decimal, r > 0 Ex) The prize for a radio station contest begins with a $100 gift card. Once a day, a name is announced. The person has 15 minutes to call or the prize increases 2.5% for the next day. Write an equation representing the amount of the gift card after t days with no winner How much will the card be worth if no one claims it after 10 days?

Section 7-6: Exponential Growth and Decay Patterns, Day 1 Compound Interest – interest earned or paid on both the initial investment AND previously earned interest. It is an application of exponential growth. Equation for Compound Interest A: current amount P: principal/initial amount r: annual interest rate expressed as a decimal n: number of times interest is compounded per year t: time in years

Section 7-6: Exponential Growth and Decay Patterns, Day 1 Ex) Maria’s parents invested $14,000 at 6% per year compounded monthly. How much money will there be in the account after 10 years?

Section 7-6: Exponential Growth and Decay Patterns, Day 2 Equation for Exponential Decay a: initial amount y = final amount t: time r: rate of decay as a decimal 0 < r < 1 Ex) A fully inflated raft is losing 6.6% of its air every day. The raft originally contained 4500 cubic inches of air. Write an equation representing the loss of air Estimate the amount of air in the raft after 7 days

Section 7-6: Exponential Growth and Decay Patterns, Day 2 Solve the 3 problems. You must choose which equation to use on each. Paul invested $400 into an account with 5.5% interest compounded monthly. How much will he have in 8 years? Ms. Acosta received a job as a teacher with a starting salary of $34,000. She will get a 1.5% increase in her salary each year. How much will she earn in 7 years? In 2000 the 2200 students attended East High School. The enrollment has been declining 2% annually. If this continues, how many students will be enrolled in the year 2015?
