Algebra Unit 3 Exponential Functions

The document covers several topics in mathematics including: 1) Properties of exponents such as expanding, compressing, products and powers of exponents, zero exponents, and negative exponents. 2) Arithmetic and geometric sequences including explicit and recursive formulas with examples of writing formulas for given sequences and finding terms. 3) Compound interest including the compound interest formula and examples of calculating balances with different compounding frequencies. 4) Growth and decay including the formulas and an example of calculating participants remaining after rounds of elimination. 5) Graphing and characteristics of exponential functions including their domains, ranges, intercepts, intervals of increase/decrease, and end behaviors.

Compound Interest
• Compound interest formula- is the interest
paid on the initial investment, called the
principal, and on previously earned
interest.

• Continuous compound interest- when


interest is compounded continually.

• Yearly = annually = 1
• Semi annually = 2
• Quarterly = 4
• Monthly = 12
• Weekly = 52
• Daily = 365

Ex.1 You deposit $1,000 in an account that


pays 8% annual interest. Find the balance
after 5 years if the interest is compounded
with the given frequency.
A. Annually

B. Quarterly

C. Daily

D. Which would you choose?


Growth and Decay
Growth:

Decay:

Ex.2. Each year the local country club


sponsors a tennis tournament. Play starts
with 128 participants. During each round,
half of the players are eliminated. How many
players remain after 5 rounds?
Graphing Exponentials
• Exponential equations are in the form

• If b > 0 and b < 1, it is decreasing


• If b > 1 then it is increasing
• Asymptote- is a line that approaches a given
curve closely.
• Exponentials have an asymptote, the
asymptote will be the vertical shift(k).

• The y intercept can be found where x is


zero.
• (h) horizontal shift
• (a) vertical stretches or compressions

Ex.1
Ex.2
Ex.3
Characteristics of Exponential Graphs
• Domain: all possible x values
• Range: all possible y values
• X-intercept: where the graph crosses the x
axis
• Y-intercept: where the graph crosses the y
axis
• Interval of increase- domain of increase
• Interval of decrease- domain of decrease
• End behaviors: describes the course of the
graph to the far left and far right
Comparing Linear and
Exponential Functions
• Rate of Change- the measure of slope of a
line, rise over run.
