EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS
A function of the form y=abx,
where a=0, b>0 and b=1.Characteristics
1. continuous and one-to-one2. domain is the set of all real numbers 3. Range is either all real positive numbers or all real negative numbers depending on whether a is < or > 04. x-axis is a horizontal asymptote5.y-intercept is at a6. y=abx and y=a(1/b)x are reflections across the y-axis
EXAMPLE 1
Sketch the graph of y=2x. State the domain and range.
EXAMPLE 2
Sketch y=( )x. State the domain and range.
EXPONENTIAL GROWTH & DECAY
Exponential Growth:
Exponential function with base greater than one. y=2(3x)
Exponential Decay:
Exponential function with base between 0 and 1 y=4(1/3)x
EXAMPLE 3-6
Determine if each function is exponential growth or decay
y=(1/5)x y=7(1.2)x
y=2(5)x y=10(4/3)x
STEPS TO WRITE AN EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION 1. Use the y-intercept to find a
2. Choose a second point on the graph to substitute into the equation for x and y. Solve for b.
3. Write your equation in terms of y=abx (plug in a and b)
EXAMPLE 7
Write an exponential function using the points (0, 3) and (-1, 6)
EXAMPLE 8
Write an exponential function using the points (0, -18) and (-2, -2)
EXAMPLE 9
In 2000, the population of Phoenix was 1,321,045 and it increased to 1,331,391 in 2004.
A. Write an exponential function of the form y=abx that could be used to model the population y of Phoenix. Write the function in terms of x, the number of years since 2000.
B. Suppose the population of Phoenix continues to increase at the same rate. Estimate the population in 2015.
EXPONENTIAL EQUATIONS
Exponential equation:
An equation in which the variables are exponents
Property of EqualityIf the base is a number other than 1 and the base is the same , then the two exponents equal each other.
2x = 28 then x=8
STEPS TO SOLVE EXPONENTIAL EQUATIONS/INEQUALITIES1. Rewrite the equation so all terms have like
bases (you may need to use negative exponents)
2. Set the exponents equal to each other
3. Solve
4. Plug x back in to the original equation to make sure the answer works

CHARACTERISTICS OF LOGARITHMIC FUNCTIONS
1. Inverse of the exponential function y=bx
2.Continous and one-to-one
3. Domain is all positive real numbers and range is ARN
4. y-axis is an asymptote
5. Contains (1,0), so x-intercept is 1
HELPFUL HINT
Since exponential and logarithmic functions are inverses if the bases are the same they “undo” each other…

COMMON LOGARITHMS
Logarithms with base 10 are common logs
You do not need to write the 10 it is understood
Button on calculator for common logs

EXAMPLES: USE CALCULATOR TO EVALUATE EACH LOG TO FOUR DECIMAL PLACES
1. log 3 2. log 0.2
3. log 5 4. log 0.5
SOLVE LOGARITHMIC EQUATIONSExample 5:
The amount of energy E, in ergs, that an earthquake releases is related to is Richter scale magnitude M by the equation logE = 11.8 + 1.5M. The Chilean earthquake of 1960 measured 8.5 on the Richter scale. How much energy was released?
Example 6:
Find the energy released by the 2004 Sumatran earthquake, which measured 9.0 on the Richter scale and led to the tsunami.
HELPFUL HINT
If both sides of the equation cannot be easily written as powers of the same base you can solve by taking the log of each side!

Find the balance after 10 years
Find how long it will take for the balance to reach at least $1500
Suppose you deposit $5000 in an account paying 3% annual interst, compounded continuously.
Find what the balance would be after 5 years
Find how long it will take for the balance to reach at least $7000
EXPONENTIAL DECAY

rate of decay t=time

Sodium-22?
A geologist examining a meteorite estimates that it contains only about 10% as much Sodium-22 as it would have contained when it reached Earth’s surface. How long ago did the meteorite reach Earth?
EXPONENTIAL GROWTH
y=a(1+r)t
a= initial amount r=% of increase/growth expressed as a decimal t=time

EXAMPLE 6
The population of a city of one million is increasing at a rate of 3% per year. If the population continues to grow at this rate, in how many years will the population have doubled?
EXAMPLE 7
Two different types of bacteria in two different cultures reproduce exponentially. The first type can be modeled by B1(t)=1200e0.1532t and the second can be modeled B2(t)=3000e0.0466t where t is the number of hours. According to these models, how many hours will it take for the amount of B1 to exceed the amount of B2?
