5.8 Exponential Growth and DecayMon Dec 7
• Do Now• In the laboratory, the number of Escherichia
coli bacteria grows exponentially with growth constant k = 0.41. Assume that 1000 bacteria are present at time = 0
• 1) Find the formula for the # of bacteria P(t) at time t
• 2) How large is the population after 5 hours?• 3) When will the population reach 10,000?
HW Review p.339
Exponential growth and decay
•When P0 is the initial size at t = 0•If k > 0, then P(t) grows exponentially•If k < 0 then P(t) decreases exponentially•K is either known as the growth or decay constant.
•We’ve done these things in Pre-calc
Y’ = ky
• If y(t) is a differentiable function satisfying the differential equation
then , where P0 is the initial value P0 = y(0)
Notes
• This theorem tells us that a process obeys an exponential law precisely when its rate of change is proportional to the amount present.
• A population grows exponentially because each present organism contributes to growth
Ex
• Find all solutions of y’ = 3y. Which solution satisfies y(0) = 9?
Ex
• Pharmacologists have shown that penicillin leaves a person’s bloodstream at a rate proportional to the amount present.
• A) Express this as a differential equation• B) Find the decay constant if 50 mg of penicillin
remains in the bloodstream 7 hours after an injection of 450 mg
• C) Under the hypothesis of (B), at what time was 200 mg present?
Doubling Time / Half-life
• If , then
is the doubling time if k >0
is the half-life if k < 0
Compound Interest
• If P0 dollars are deposited into an account earning interest at an annual rate r, compounded M times yearly, then the value of the account after t years is
• If compounded continuously, is
Present Value• The concept of present value (PV) is used to
compare payments made at different times
• The PV of P dollars received at time t is
• Having money now means you can get interest from it right away.
• Getting money later means you will lose out on any interest you could have gotten
Ex
• Is it better to receive $2000 today or $2200 in 2 years? Consider a 3% and 7% compounded interest rate
Ex• You must decide whether to upgrade your
company’s computer system. The upgrade costs $400,000 and will save $150,000 per year for the next 3 years. Is this a good investment if r = 7%?
Income stream
• An income stream is a sequence of periodic payments that continue over an interval of T years
• This is like winning the lottery and taking several payments over the years vs taking a lump sum
PV of an income stream
• If the interest rate is r, the present value of an income stream paying out R(t) dollars per year continuously for T years is
Ex
• An investment pays out 800,000 pesos per year, continuously for 5 years. Find the PV of the investment for r = 0.04
Closure
• For the investment that paid out 800,000 pesos per year for 5 years, find the PV of the investment if r = 0.06
