students enrolled at the school and that over the last currently 75 mole rats in central park, and their

per year.

What is the difference between these two situations?

Type & Function Key Words Example

Basic Growth The tuition at a college was $30,000 in 2012,


$31,200 in 2013, and $32,448 in 2014. The
𝑥 𝑥 tuition has been increasing by the same
𝑦 = 𝑎𝑏 or 𝑦 = 𝑎(1 + 𝑟) percentage (4%) since the year 2000.

Basic Decay Elijah is studying enrollment at DeWitt Clinton


High School. He knows that currently there are
𝑥 𝑥 1100 students enrolled at the school and that
𝑦 = 𝑎𝑏 or 𝑦 = 𝑎(1 − 𝑟) over the last few years enrollment has declined
by 1.6% each year. Write an equation that
models this scenario. Then, determine the
number of students expected to be enrolled in 4
years.

Continuous The naked mole population of Central Park is


being tracked by animal welfare researchers.
𝑟𝑡 −𝑟𝑡 There are currently 75 mole rats in central park,
𝑦 = 𝑎𝑒 / 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑒 and their population is growing continuously at
a rate of 16.4% per year. What is the expected
population of moles in 5 years?

Compound Jamie is deciding between two savings accounts


for her $4000 investment. Account Alpha offers
𝑟 𝑛𝑡 an annual interest rate of 2.5% compounded
𝑦 = 𝑎(1 + 𝑛
) monthly. Account Omega offers an annual
interest rate of 1.9% compounded weekly.

Half Life/Doubling Chemical X is being tested as a new additive for


𝑡 𝑡 chemotherapy. It has a half-life of 1.4 hours. If a
1 𝑑 𝑑 patient is injected with 200mg of Chemical X,
𝑦 = 𝑎( 2 ) / 𝑦 = 𝑎(2)
how much of the chemical will be left in the
patient’s body after 7 hours?
