Represent Real Life

Situations Using
Exponential
Functions
OBJECTIVES:
1. define exponential functions;
2. show illustrations of exponential functions
that represent real-life situations;
3. represent real-life situations using the
exponential functions; and
4. solve problems involving real-life situations
using the exponential functions.
An exponential function with base b is a function
of the form f(x) = b* or y = bx, where b > 0, b 1.

Examples of Exponential Functions.


f(x) = 6x f(x) = 16* f(x) = 3x+1

Not Exponential Functions.


f(x) = x3 f(x) = 1x f(x) = xx if b = −4 and x =
12 bx = (−4)²= √−4
Example 1. Complete a table of values for x = -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 and 3 for
the exponential functions y = (-)*, y = 10*, and y = (0.8)*.

x -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
y= x Title text
27 9 3 1 1/3 1/9 1/27
addition
y = 10x 1/1000 1/100 1/10 1 10 100 1000

y =(0.8)x 1.953125 1.5625 1.25 1 0.8 0.64 0.512


Example 2. If ƒ (x) = 3*, Evaluate f(2),f(-2), f), and
f(0.4).

f(2) = 3² = 9

f(-2) = 3-2 = =

f = 31/2 =

f(0.4) = 30.4 = 32/5


The most common applications in
real-life of exponential functions
and their transformations are
population growth, exponential
decay, and compound interest.
Exponential Models and Population Growth Suppose a quantity y
doubles every 7 units of time. If y, is the initial amount, then the quantity
y after t units of time is given by y = yo(2)'/r.

Example 3. Let t = time in days. At t = 0, there were initially 20 bacteria.


Suppose that the bacteria double every 100 hours. Give an exponential
model for the bacteria as a function of 1.

Initially, at t=0 Number of bacteria = 20


at t = 100 Number of bacteria = 20(2) Title text addition
at t = 200 Number of bacteria = 20(2)2
at t = 300 Number of bacteria = 20(2)3
at t = 400 Number of bacteria = 20(2)4
Example 4. At time t = 0, 500 bacteria are in petri dish, and
this amount triples every 15 days.
a) Give an exponential model for the situation.
b) How many bacteria are in the dish after 40 days.

y = yo( )'r t = 40?


y = 500 y = 500(3)*/15
T = 15 ≈ 9,360

y = 500(3)*/15 There will be 9360 bacteria after 40 days.


The half-life decay of a radioactive substance it takes for half of the substance
to decay. Exponential Functions and Half-life If the half-life of a substance is
T units, and yo is the amount of the substance corresponding to t = 0, then the
amount y of substance remaining after t units of time is given by y = yo()'/r

Example 5. Suppose that the half-life of a certain radioactive substance is 10 days


and there are 10g initially, determine the amount of substance remaining after 30
days.
Let t = time in days. Thus, we have:
Initially, at t=0 Amount of substance = 10g
at t = 10 days Amount of substance = 5g
at t = 20 days Amount of substance = 2.5g
at t = 30 days Amount of substance = 1.25g

An exponential model for this situation is y = 10(1/2)t/10


Distinguish between

Exponential Equation,
and Exponential
Inequality
EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION is an expression of the form y
= bx or f(x) = b*, where b > 0 or 0 < b < 1 and b # 1.

Examples: (b> 0) Examples: (0 <b< 0)


y = 5x, b = 5 y = (½), b = ½
y = 3x+1, b = 3 y = (0.4)x-5 b = 0.4
f(x) = 72x-3, b = 7 f(x) = (2/5)3x b = 2/5
f(x) = 125x, b = 12 f(x) = 0.33x, b = 0.3

EXPONENTIAL EQUATION is an equation involving
exponential expressions which variable occurs as exponents.

Examples:
12x = 7 52x-1-3= 22
2x+1 = 32 0.87-x= 0.125
9 = 23x+1 = +1
N: All variables of the examples above are on their respective
exponents.
EXPONENTIAL EXPRESSION is an expression in the form of
a⚫bx-c+d, where a, b, c, and d are real numbers, b> 0 or 0 < b < 1
and b # 1.

Examples:
2x+ 1 (1/3)-x+2
0.25 6x+9 0.45x-3
0.87 -x
12 x-7
