THE MATH
• If notebook paper is .003 in thick how think is the stack after 5 folds, 6 folds, 7 folds…
• How many pieces of paper are you actually trying to fold?• Create a table to record the amount of paper with each fold.
FOLD # of paper THICKNESS(in)
0 1 .003
1 2 .006
2 4 .012
3 8 .024
4 16 .048
5 32 .096
6 64 .192
7 128 .384

Exponential functions
• An exponential function has the form:A few requirements:
An exponential function has the x as the exponent!!

Example
• If you invest $1000 in a savings account that pays 5% annual interest. How much money will you have after six years?
• How many years will it take for the account to grow to at least $1500?

Example
• A new car is worth $20,000 and is expected to depreciate 12% each year. How much will the car be worth after 10 years?
• How long will it take for the car to be worth half it’s original value?
