2.a. see graph b. W(4)=16 W(5) = 8 W(6)=4 c. Constant ratio = 0.5. This is an exponential function because you are multiplying by 0.5 to get to the next output d. It is decay. The constant ratio is 0<a<1 and we can see that the values are getting smaller

4. a. When you bought the car it is worth $20,000 b. At 4 years (or 4 years after you bought the car) the car is worth $10,440 c. 100 – 15% = 85%. If it loses 15% then it must retain 85% d. See table e. Exponential decay. The constant ratio is 0.85 which is 0<a<1 and we can see that the outputs are getting smaller

12. Essential Question: How do I create an exponential function?
I CAN:
Find the constant ratio given two points in an exponential function
Find the initial value of an exponential function when given at least one point and the constant ratio
Substitute the constant ratio and initial value to build the symbolic representation of an exponential function

13. Reminder: How do I find constant ratio?
Constant ratio = 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑝𝑢𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑝𝑢𝑡 Example: (2, 12) and (3, 36) Example: X
F(x) 4 5 2

14. Reminder: How do I find constant ratio?
Constant ratio = 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑝𝑢𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑝𝑢𝑡 Example: (2, 12) and (3, 36) Constant Ratio = =3 Example: Constant Ratio = 2 4 =0.5 X
F(x) 4 5 2

15. How do I find the initial value?
Multiply by the constant ratio to get future outputs, divide by the constant ratio to get previous outputs Example: (2, 12) and (3, 36) Example: X
F(x) 1 2 3 4 5

16. How do I find the initial value?
Multiply by the constant ratio to get future outputs, divide by the constant ratio to get previous outputs Example: (2, 12) and (3, 36) Constant Ratio = =3 (1, 4) and (0, 4 3 ) Example: Constant Ratio = 2 4 =0.5 X
F(x) 64 1 32 2 16 3 8 4 5
