A function rule that describes the pattern is


f(x) = 15(4)x, where 15 is a1, the starting
number, and 4 is r the common ratio. This
type of function is an exponential

In the exponential function f(x) = a1  rx if


r > 1, the output gets larger as the input
gets larger. In this case, f is called an
exponential growth function.

Additional Example 2: Using an Exponential Growth


Function
A bacterial culture contains 5000 bacteria, and
the number of bacteria doubles each day. How
many bacteria will be in the culture after a
week?

Day Mon Tue Wed Thu


Number of days x 0 1 2 3
Number of bacteria
f(x) 5000 10,000 20,000 40,000

Course 3

Additional Example 2 Continued

f(x) = a1  rx Write the function.


f(x) = 5000  rx f(0) = a1

f(x) = 5000  2x The common ratio is 2.

A week is 7 days so let x = 7.

f(7) = 5000  27 = 640,000 Substitute 7 for x.

If the number of bacteria doubles each day, there will


be 640,000 bacteria in the culture after a week.

the output gets smaller as x gets larger. In this
case, f is called an exponential decay function.
