- 2. Why is it important to understand function? It is important for us to learn exponential function because it help us to model many real life situations. Exponential Models and Population Growth Suppose a quantity 𝑦 doubles every 𝑇 units of time. If 𝑦0 is t he initial amount, then the quantity 𝑦 after 𝑡 units of time is given by 𝑦 = 𝑦0(2) 𝑡 𝑇
- 3. 1. Population Let t = time in days. At t = 0, there were initially 20 bacteria. Suppose that the bacteria doubles every 100 hours. Give an exponential model for bacteria as a function of t. Answer: Initially, at t = 0, Number of bacteria = 20 at t = 100 Number of bacteria = 20(2) 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 Therefore, the exponential model for this situation is 𝑦 = 20(2)𝑡/100 Why is it important to understand function?
- 4. 2. Exponential Decay Definition. The HALF-LIFE of a radioactive substance is the time it takes for half of the substance to decay. Suppose that the half-life of a certain radioactive substance is 10 days and there are 10g initially, determine the amount of substance after 30 days. Answer: Initially, at t = 0 Amount of substance = 10g at t = 10 Amount of substance = 5g at t = 20 Amount of substance = 2.5g at t = 30 Amount of substance = 1.25g Therefore, the exponential model for this situation is 𝑦 = 10( 1 2 )𝑡/10
- 5. 3. Compound Interest Mrs. Dela Cruz invested P100, 000 in a company that offers 6% interest compounded annually. How much will this investment be worth at the end of each year for the next five years? Answer: Initially, at t = 0 Investment = P100, 000 at t = 1 Investment = P100, 000 (1.06) at t = 2 Investment = P100, 000 (1.06)2 at t = 3 Investment = P100, 000 (1.06)3 at t = 4 Investment = P100, 000 (1.06)4 at t = 5 Investment = P100, 000 (1.06)5 Therefore, the exponential model for this situation is y = 100, 000(1.06)t Compound Interest If a principal P is investe d at an annual rate of 𝑟, compounded annually, then the amount after 𝑡 years is given by 𝐴 = 𝑃(1 + 𝑟)𝑡
- 6. Exponential Function • An exponential function is an equation which the variable appears in an exponent. • An exponential function with base b is a function of the form 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑏𝑥 𝑜𝑟 𝑦 = 𝑏𝑥, where 𝑏 > 0, 𝑏 ≠ 1.
