Periodic Functions (MC)
A periodic function is a function that has a repeating pattern (along the x-axis).
The length of the pattern is called the period. Since
there is no rule, you must work with the period to calculate values.
The period is the length (on the x) of one pattern cycle,
the smallest portion of the graph before it repeats.
To calculate the value of the function (y-value) for a
given x-value you cant read off the graph, count by the period at the origin until you get close enough to get the number you want.

Criteria Exponential Function To identify an exponential function Using the formula y = acx Exponential function is a growth or decay problem Usually a question involves biology or economics
To identify the rule of the function
y = acx Identify a (intial value) Identify c (base the rate) If c is a % If c is something like doubles or triples
To graph the function
Exponential Functions (LA)
Rule: f(x) =acx y = (start)(rate)x
a = initial value
(# of times it changes)
c = base (how is changes doubles, %, + or -)
If c (base) is a % if the situation is increasing then base = 100 + % 100
If the situation is decreasing then
base = 100 - % 100
If c is something like doubles then c = 2
An exponential function represents a growth or decay in biology and economics
The asymptote is the line that the curve approaches but never touches a controls the steepness of the graph A positive a means the curve is smiling at you and a vertical stretch of the curve as the value of a increases
A negative a means the curve is is frowning at you and a vertical compression of the curve as the value decreases
If you are given a table of values you can determine the rate using y 2 y1 You cannot solve for x, other than using trial and error
Exponential Functions c > 1 When the base is greater than 1, the curve is increasing (grows) at an ever increasing rate as the x value is increased.
0 < C < 1 When the base is between 0 and 1, the curve decreases (decays) at an ever decreasing rate as the x value is increased. Introduction to E xponential Functions Vide o
Exponential Functions Finding the rule of an exponential function in the form y=acx: Substitute the initial value (yintercept) for the value of a a = 3
Substitute a point of the
graph (that is not the y-int) for x and y in the equation y = 3cx 12 = 3c2 2 = c
Write the rule of the function
y = 3(2)x
How to Graph an Exponential
Function Plot a few points (about 5), connect the dots and draw the graph, using what you know of exponential behavior:
Graph y=3x The a value will be your y-intercept The exponential function will get (and stay) very close to zero on the lefthand side, so draw the graph "skinnying along" the top of the x-axis on the left-hand side

Determine which of the three
intervals 0.96 km/h fits into
0x5 Therefore we use the rule f(x) = 0.06x2
Plug the speed into the rule
0.96= 0.06(x)2 X=4
Next plug the speed into the
second rule to determine where it fits the speed again.
0.96 = -0.3X + 6 -5.04 = -0.3X 16.8 = x

starts its descent To do this use the function y = ax2 Using the point (3, 18) determine the value for a 18 = a(3)2 2=a Therefore the rule is y = 2x2 Then you have to determine the y value of the constant. The constant starts at 8 seconds therefore plug the into the rule you just found y = 2(8)2 Y = 128 meters Now that we have the maximum y value and the rule for the descending function we can find the initial x value F(x) = -32x + 608 128 = -32x +608 -480 = -32x 15 = x Therefore the descent starts at 15 seconds Next using the same rule find the x intercept F(x) = -32x + 608 0 = -32x + 608 -608 = -32x 19 = x 19 15 = 4 seconds for the eagle to
