1 Unit 9 Exponential and Logarithmic Functions - Classwork In our study of Precalculus, we have examined polynomial expressions, rational expressions, and trigonometric expressions. What we have not examined are exponential expressions, expressions of the form y = a x. These types of expressions are very prevalent in the Precalculus theatre. An expression in the form of y = a x will graph an exponential. An exponential graph tends to explode based on the value of x, since the x is in the exponent. y = 2 x y = 3 x y =.5 x The graphs of various exponential curves are shown above. We know that the graph of y = 1 x graphs. If a < 0, the graph of y = a x will not exist at certain points for instance, what is ( 2) 2? So it only makes sense to examine functions in form of y = a x, if a >0, a 1. When a >1, we get what is called a growth curve and the larger a is, the steeper the growth curve is. If 0 < a < 1, the we get a decay curve as shown in the 3rd graph above. No matter what, exponential curves in the form of y = a x have certain features. What point do they have in common? What is the domain? What is the range? Solving basic exponential equations can be accomplished by using the fact that if a x = a y, then x = y Examples) Solve for x. 1` 1) 2 x +1 = 8 2) 3 2x 3 2 = 9 3) 5 x +4 =125 4) 3 4x 1 = ) 7 3x +1 = x 6) 9 2x 4 = ( 27) x 1 7) 4 5x 1 3 = 32 8) 8 5 2x =1 9.

2 Solving exponential equations like the ones above are easy when each side of the equation have common bases. But problems like 3 x 1 = 4cause problems. With that problem created, we introduced the concept of logarithms. A logarithm is simply an inverse of an exponential. Students typically hear the word logarithm and go into a cold sweat because they do not understand them. So lets get it straight once and for all. The statement y = b x can be written in an alternate way: x = log b y. They mean the same thing. Whenever you are given a logarithmic statement, write it exponentially. You will know the answer! Important: log b y = x is the same thing as saying b x = y 9) log ) log ) log ) log ) log ) log ) log ) log ) log ) log ) 5log ) log If the base is not specified, it is assumed to be 10. log 10 x and log x are the same things. Log base 10 are called common logs. Examples) Find the value of the following: 21) log100 22) log1 23) log ) log ) 5log 10 26) 3log 10 27) log ) log10 5 In mathematics, we have a very special number and is called Euler s number. Leonhard Euler ( ) discovered this number and it is known as e. The value of e is e is a transcendental number which, like π and 2, continues on forever without any pattern. (Note: the 1828 in e, although appearing twice consecutively near the start does not appear again for a very long while. It is completely coincidental that it appears twice) 9. Exponentials and Logarithmic Functions Stu Schwartz

3 The number e is such an important number (if you would have to decide what the 5 most important numbers are, what would they be?,,,, ), that it forms the basic of what are called natural logarithms of Napierian logs (after John Napier, , who first used them). Just as logarithms (log) use base 10, natural logs (ln) use base e. When you wish to find the value of a log, you write the expression exponentially. You do the same thing with a natural log except that your base is now e. For instance, to find ln 10, you call it x, and are now solving the equation e x = 10. Since e is slightly below 3, we expect ln 10 to be between the values of and. So, given the function y = e x, the domain is and the range is. Examples) Find the value of the following: 29) lne 4 30) ln 1 e 31) ln e 32) ln1 33) 9lne 2 34) 1 3 ln 1 35) ln 3 ( 2e) 36) e ln5 e There are four basic rules for operation with logarithms that you must know. They are as follows: 1. log a b ( ) = loga + logb 2. log a b = loga logb 3. logab = blog a 4. log a x = log x b log b a These rules work with logs to any base or the ln function. The last rule is called the change of base formula. Examples) Find the value of the following expressions: 3 37) log25 + log 4 38) log log ) log 2 40 log ) log log ) log ) log 2 ( 2 ) ) log50 + log 4 + log5 44) log log For problems use the change of base formula (#4) with base 10 and calculate to 3 decimal places. 45) log log ) log ) log Exponentials and Logarithmic Functions Stu Schwartz

4 Solving logarithmic equations Solving logarithmic equations (statement with logs in them) is simply a matter of writing them exponentially and solving via conventional methods. The rules you just studied can be quite helpful as well. 49) log 5 ( 2x + 5) = 2 50) log 3 ( 4x 7) = 4 51) log x ( 2x + 8) = 2 52) log 4 ( x 2 x + 2) = ) log( x 1) + log4 = 2 54) log 6 ( 35x + 6) log 6 x = 2 Solving Exponential Equations Exponential equations are in the form of a f ( x) = b or a f ( x) = b g ( x). To solve such equations, the technique is to take the log (any base but 10 is best) of both sides. And use the fact that logab = bloga. Solve for x algebraically and then 3 decimal places and verify using the calculator, either numerically or graphically. 55) 3 x =12 56) 3.4 x +4 = ) = 4000( 1.06) x 58) 3 x =12 x 2 59) e x =10 60) 2e 2x 5 = Exponentials and Logarithmic Functions Stu Schwartz

5 Exponential Growth When things grow exponentially, they explode, meaning that as time grows, the number of them increase slowly at first and then faster and faster. When we have exponential decay, the number of them decreases quickly at first and then slower and slower. Here are the graphs of exponential growth and decay: Let s give some examples of real-life applications of exponential growth and decay. Growth: Decay: Exponential growth/decay can be modeled by the equations below. You are responsible for these equations. Exponential Growth Exponential Decay P = p o ( 1 + r) P = p o ( 1 r) where: p o = the initial population (the amount at time zero) r = the rate of change (a decimal greater than zero) n = number of time periods it takes for the rate to occur t = time - it will be the x variable when using the calculator P = the new population - it will be your Y when using the calculator 1. Assume that the number of bacteria in a bacterial culture doubles every hour and that there are 1,000 present initially. Variables: p o = r = n = a. Write the equation that describes this growth pattern. b. Draw a graph that shows the number of bacteria present during the first 12 hours. c. How many bacteria are present after 8 hours and 15 minutes? d. Determine mathematically when the number of bacteria will be 1 million. Verify graphically. 9. Exponentials and Logarithmic Functions Stu Schwartz

6 2. For the same problem, suppose that the number of bacteria triples every 2 hours. How does that change the problem? Variables: p o = r = n = a. Write the equation that describes this growth pattern. b. Draw a graph that shows the number of bacteria present during the first 12 hours. c. How many bacteria are present after 8 hours and 15 minutes? d. Determine mathematically when the number of bacteria will be 1 million. Verify graphically. 3. The population of a town is 100,000 and increasing at the rate of 2.15% a year. Variables: p o = r = n = a. Write the equation that describes this growth pattern. b. Draw a graph that shows the population of this town during the first 50 years. c. How many people are present after 10 years? d. Determine mathematically when the population will have doubled. Verify graphically. 4. The population of Allentown, Pa. was 5,000 in the year 1900 and has steadily grown by 12.68% every 4 years since. Variables: p o = r = n = a. Write the equation that describes this growth pattern. b. Draw a graph that shows the population of this town during the 20th century. c. How many people live in Allentown in the year 2008? d. Determine when the population will reach 150, Exponentials and Logarithmic Functions Stu Schwartz

7 5. The population of a small, western town in the year 1860 was 7,500 and decreasing at the rate of 3.85% every two years. Variables: p o = r = n = a. Write the equation that describes this decay pattern. b. Draw a graph that shows the population from 1860 to the present. c. How many people lived in the town in the year d. How many people live there today? e. In what year was the population cut in half? Do mathematically and verify graphically. 6. The half life of carbon-14 is 5,730 years. Assume that a typical male has 35 pounds of carbon-14 in his body at death. a. Write the equation that describes this decay pattern. b. Draw a graph that shows the amount of carbon-14 left after 10,000 years. c. How much carbon-14 will be remaining after 1,000 years. d. How many years will it take to have only 1 pound of carbon-14 left? e. If Jesus Christ's body were found today, how much carbon-14 would be remaining? 7. Not all half-lives are that long. Some elements have relatively small half-lives. In the following chart are some basic elements and their half-lives. If you started with 1,000 grams of the element, determine would remain in two minutes. Element Half-life Remaining after 2 minutes Neon seconds Oxygen seconds Beryllium seconds Nitrogen seconds Carbon seconds To see these half-lives in action, check out the applet at 9. Exponentials and Logarithmic Functions Stu Schwartz

8 One of the basic uses of exponential growth is that of money and investments. Money gains interest while sitting in a bank and people taking out loans have to pay interest on those loans because if the money were still in the bank, it would gaining interest. There are two types of interest, simple and compound interest. Simple interest is exactly that, you put a sum of money in the bank (principal) and gain the same amount of interest every year. Almost no bank gives simple interest. One example of interest is a parent giving a loan to a child. If a parent loaned his child $5,000 to buy a car and charged him 4% interest over 10 years, the amount the child will pay back is according to the formula: P = P 0 + P 0 rt where P 0 is the principal, r is the rate of interest and t is the time in years. What is the payback and how much is the yearly interest? Compound interest is the way all banks give interest. Compound interest means interest upon interest. For example, assume we put $5,000 in the bank at 4% interest. Let s determine the amount of interest for each year. Principal ( P 0 ) Interest in year: ( P 0 r) New Principal 5,000 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: Note how the interest increases each year. Note that the final principal is much more than the $7,000 we had with simple interest. Rather then completing this chart for longer periods of times, we use the following formula for compound interest. Since it is an example of exponential growth, it has a similarity to the formula we used in the last section. Formula for compound interest: P = P r n nt where: P 0 = initial principal (principal at time = zero) r = Annual Percentage Rate (APR) this is what banks publish your rate of interest yearly t = time in years n = number of compounding periods banks give interest in varying number of periods bi-annually interest every two years (n =.5) quite rare annually interest once a year (n = 1) somewhat rare semi-annually - interest twice a year (n = 2) somewhat rare quarterly interest every 3 months (n = 4) somewhat common monthly - interest every month (n = 12) some banks do it weekly interest every week (n = 52) quite rare daily interest every day (n = 365) most banks do it 9. Exponentials and Logarithmic Functions Stu Schwartz

9 8. If I invested $5,000 in a bank giving 4% interest for 10 years, how much would I have according to the following compounding methods? Set your calculators to 2-decimal places. Bi-annual Annual Semi-annual Quarterly Monthly Weekly Daily Every hour Every minute Every second Continuous Compounding Note that as n gets larger, there is essentially no difference in the amount of interest you will gain. Some banks compound continuously. The formula for continuous compounding is P = P 0 e rt where P 0 is the initial principal, r is the annual rate of interest and t is time in years. Here is our first real-life use of the number e which you recall is You have an e button on your calculator - in fact you have two of them. The first is above the division sign and the second is above the ln key which allows for taking e to a power. Suppose you invested $1 in a bank at 5% interest as a child and simply left it there to gain interest. If it compounded interest according to the continuous compounding formula, how much would be in the bank after: 1 year 10 years 50 years 100 years 200 years 500 years 9. You plan to invest $10,000 in a CD (certificate of deposit) for 5 years. There are four CD s available to you with the following rates and compounding. Which one give you the best deal and why? a. 5.15% - annually b. 5.1% - quarterly c. 5.05% - monthly d. 5.03% - daily 10. At the birth of their child, Mr. and Mrs. DeGenerous wish to give him a new car (worth $20,000) upon his graduation from high school when he is 18 years old. How much should they invest at 5.25% APR compounded daily in order to have the money available to this boy upon graduation? 11. George Dubya wants to double his money in 10 years. Find the rate of interest he would need if his money compounds continuously. 9. Exponentials and Logarithmic Functions Stu Schwartz

10 Exponential Curve Fitting If we have two points, we know that we have one line that goes through them. We can find the equation of this line using the equations y = mx + b or y y 1 = m( x x 1 ). We can also find the equation of the exponential curve y = Ce ax that fits these two points. Example 1) Find the equation of both the line and exponential curve going through the point (4, 6) with y-intercept = 3. For both curves, if x = 8, find the corresponding y-value. Line work: Exponential work: Corresponding y-value (8, ) Corresponding y-value (8, ) When you calculate the value of a on your calculator, be sure to store it. The calculator s accuracy Setting doesn t matter as long as you store the value. The screens below show the process. Example 2) Find the equation of both the line and exponential curve going through the point (3, 5) with y-intercept = 12. For both curves, if x = 12, find the corresponding y-value. Line work: Exponential work: Corresponding y-value (12, ) Corresponding y-value (12, ) 3) Mountain Training: It is determined that a normal person cannot survive barometric pressure less than 15. The barometric pressure at sea level is At Mile High Stadium in Denver, the pressure is Assuming an exponential model, could someone survive Mt. Everest (29,028 feet) without training? What is the highest mountain someone could survive? 9. Exponentials and Logarithmic Functions Stu Schwartz

11 4) Marijuana: Some doctors use a system to determine the amount of marijuana in the bloodstream. After smoking a joint of marijuana, the scale reads 100. Six hours later, the scale will be at 78. Assuming an exponential model, what will be the scale reading a) 12 hours later, b) 24 hours later, c) 1 week later. If someone s MJ scale read 54 at 12 midnight, estimate the time when they last smoked marijuana. 5. Fruit Fly Growth: Suppose that an experimental population of fruit flies increases according to the law of continuous exponential growth: If we start with 100 fruit flies, and have 300 flies after the 2nd day, how many will we have after 10 days? Calculate mathematically how long it will take for there take to be a billion flies? Why won t the world get inundated with flies? 6. Local Population: North Wales had 4,500 people living there in The population grows exponentially and in 1995, there were 5,100 people living there. Remember the exponential growth formula: a) How many people are living there in 2008? b) In what year will there be 7,500 people living there? 9. Exponentials and Logarithmic Functions Stu Schwartz

12 Using the Calculator for Financial Operations (Optional) The TI-83 contains built-in commands that allow for calculation of values associated with compound interest, annuities, amortized loans and payout annuities. The Finance menu is opened by pressing [2 nd ] [x -1 ] on the TI-83, or by pressing the [APPS] key and selecting 'Finance' on the TI-83 plus or TI-84. The first menu option under Calc is the TVM-Solver. This is the primary mechanism by which we will perform financial calculations. The variables listed in the TVM solver are called 'fields'. Each variable represents a quantity associated with a common financial concept or formula. You will fill in all of these fields except one of them which is the one you are trying to find. You place your cursor on that field, then press the SOLVE button which is ALPHA ENTER. N: This represents the number of compounding periods in the term of the investment, annuity or loan. This will always be a positive integer. I%: This represents the 'nominal rate' for an investment, annuity or loan. This will always be a positive integer. Note: We write the percent form here, not the fraction or decimal form of a percent. PV: This represents the 'present value' of an investment, loan or annuity. This number can be positive or negative. if the number is positive, then it indicated money we collected as in a loan. If the number is negative, then it represents money we paid out, as in an investment or loan where we are the lender. PMT: This represents the payment made to build an annuity or pay off a loan. The value will always be negative in these situations. If we have a 'payout' annuity, then the value will be positive. In either case, the value represents the payment per compounding period. FV: This represents the 'future value' of an investment, annuity or loan after N compounding periods have passed. This value will be positive or negative depending on the signs of PV and PMT. P/Y: This value represents the number of payments per year for annuities and loans. C/Y: This represents the number of compounding periods per year. These must both be positive integers greater than 1. PMT: END BEGIN. This field allows one to set the TVM Solver for 'ordinary' annuities, (END), or annuities 'due' (BEGIN). For instance, suppose we wanted to invest $5,000 at 5.75% interest for 10 years compounded daily. Our formula from the last section would be: P = Exponentials and Logarithmic Functions Stu Schwartz 365( 10) N = 3650 as there are 365 compounding periods in a year and 10 years. The interest rate is 5.75%. Note that it is not entered as The Present Value (PV) is It is negative as we are paying it out to the bank. Payment (PMT) is 0 as we pay nothing beyond the initial $ The Future Value is what we are trying to find. You will place your cursor on that field. Make both P/Y and C/Y = to 365. Payments are made at the end of the payment period (every day). When your press SOLVE you get that the Future value of the loan is $8, = To setup the TVM Solver;

13 Sam Saver gets paid every 2 weeks and puts $100 from his paycheck into an annuity paying 6% interest compounded daily. If he continues this practice for 5 years, how much money will he have in the annuity? N = 5(26) = 130 (26 pay periods per year) Interest rate is 6% The Previous value is 0 no money in the account. The payment is 100 as we are paying it to the bank. The Future Value is what we are trying to find. You will place your cursor on that field. The payments per year is 26. The compounding periods per year is 365. When your press SOLVE you get that the Future value of the loan is $15, He has paid in $13,000 and thus has made $2, in interest or about 16%. Suppose you purchased a house for $400,000 at 5.25% and wanted a 30 year mortgage. What would your monthly payment be? N = 360 as you are making monthly payments for 30 years. Interest rate is 5.25%. The Present Value is positive as it is a loan. We want the payment so we put our cursor on this field. The Future Value is zero as we want to owe nothing eventually. Both P/Y and C/Y are 12 as we are making 12 payments a year. PMT is BEGIN as mortgage payments are made at the beginning of every month. So we find that our monthly payment is $2, Note that if we make 360 payments over 30 years, we pay back $791, Since the house cost $400,000, we are paying $ in interest payments. In this case the interest you pay over 30 years is just about the cost of the house. So let s suppose that you cannot afford to pay $2, a month. You examine your financial situation and decide that the most you can pay is $1,575 a month. How expensive of a house can you afford? Change the Payment to -1,575. Place the cursor over PV (it doesn t matter what is in there as it will be recalculated) and press SOLVE. We can buy a house for $286, Now suppose you find a house for $300,000 that you like. You still cannot pay more than $1,575 a month. What interest rate would you need in order to afford the house? Change the Present Value to and put your cursor over the interest rate. It makes no difference what is in there as it will be recalculated. Press SOLVE. We need to find an interest rate of 4.84% 9. Exponentials and Logarithmic Functions Stu Schwartz

22 7. Stopping an Oil Tanker: It has been shown that if an oil tanker stops it engines, then its velocity will decrease exponentially. Suppose that that captain shuts off the engines when the speed of the tanker is 20 miles per hour and one minute later the speed of the tanker is 18 mph. What is the speed of the tanker after one hour? How does this explain the number of tanker collisions recently in the news? 8. The Clever Rat: Psychologists have long held that much about human nature can be learned from rats. Suppose an experimenter places a rat in a maze and that it takes the rat two minutes to escape. The second experiment, it takes the rat 1 minute, 45 seconds to escape. How long will it take the rat to escape after the 20th trial (seconds)? How many experiments will it take the rat to get under 5 seconds? 9. Cooling: A student brings in a hot cup of coffee at 200 o F. The teacher tells her that she may not drink it, so it sits there and cools. 10 minutes later, it cooled to 140 o F. How much longer will it take for the coffee to cool to 100 o F? Will the decay model continue forever? If not, where does it stop? 10. Predicting the time of death: The Law and Order detectives enter a house at 11:30 AM and found a man on the floor murdered. They take his body temperature finding to be 91.8 o. The body is taken to the morgue and at 12:30 PM the body temperature is 84.4 o. Using an exponential model for body temperature, to the nearest minute, what time was he killed? Normal body temperature is Exponentials and Logarithmic Functions Stu Schwartz

How much would an investment of $3,000 be worth in 10 years if it is invested at 4.5% interest compounded quarterly? $4, Every month, I put $175 from my paycheck into an annuity at 4.75%. If I do this for a period of 5 years, how much will be in the annuity? $ In the situation above, I decide that I want to have $15,000 in the annuity after 5 years? How much will I have to invest a month? $ I purchase a car for $35,000 and make a down payment of $5,000. So I want to finance $30,000 over 4 years. The dealer s finance department offers me a rate of 6%. What are my monthly payments? $ How much do I actually pay back to the finance company? $33, In the situation above, I decide to get my own financing at a bank at 4.25%. What are my monthly payments now and how much do I pay back to the bank? $678.33,$32, In the situation above, I decide that I cannot $678 a month so I decide to finance the car for 5 years instead of 4. What are my monthly payments now and how much do I pay back to the bank? $553.92,$ In the above situation, I realize that I have stretched myself too far and can only afford $400 a month. I decide that 5 years is too long to finance the car so I go back to 4 years at 4.25%. How expensive a car can I afford? $ plus the down payment of $5,000 = $ In the above situation, I realize that I can t get much of a car for $22, I decided to take the payments out for 5 years again. Now how much car can I afford? $21, plus the down payment of $5,000 = $26, In the above situation, I finally decide to finance $20,000 for 4 years and am willing to pay $450 a month. What interest rate do I need to meet these conditions? 3.99% 20. I purchase a house for $250,000 at 5% interest and take out a 30-year mortgage. Determine my monthly payments and the amount I pay back to the finance company. If I can reduce the interest rate to 4.75%, what will be my monthly payments and how much will I pay back to the finance company? at 5.00%... monthly payment = $1,336.49, payback = $481, at 4.75%... monthly payment = $1,298.98, payback = $467, Exponentials and Logarithmic Functions Stu Schwartz
