Evaluate: Write without the radical:
2
Objective: To graph exponential functions and inequalities To solve problems involving exponential growth and decay
3
Exponential Functions have the form: A constant raised to a variable power. f(x) = b x where b >0 & b ≠ 1
4
Enter into calculator and graph: f(x) = 2 x [2nd] [table] to see list of data points Notice how quickly exponential functions grow.
5
If b u = b v then u = v When b > 0 and b≠ 1 The graph of f(x) = b x always passes through the points (0,1) and (1,b) The graph of f(x) = b x is the reflection about the y-axis of the graph of f(x)= The graph of f(x) = b x has the horizontal asymptote y = 0. There is no vertical asymptote.
6
The domain of f(x) = b x is the set of real numbers: the range is the set of positive numbers. f(x) = b x is increasing if b > 1 ; f(x) = b x is decreasing if 0< b< 1. f(x) = b x is a one-to-one function since it passes the horizontal line test.

Compound Interest Exponential Growth or decay (bacteria/ radiation half life)
11
Compound interest means the each payment is calculated by including the interest previously earned on the investment.

The average growth rate of the population of a city is 7.5% per year and is represented by the formula y=A(1.075) x, where x is the number of years and y is the most recent population of the city. The city’s population A is now 22,750 people. What is the expected population in 10 years?
