1 OBJECTIVE 4 Eponential & Log Functions EXPONENTIAL FORM An eponential function is a function of the form where > 0 and. f ( ) SHAPE OF > increasing 0 < < decreasing

2 PROPERTIES OF THE BASIC EXPONENTIAL GRAPH Domain is (-, ) Range is (0, ) Horizontal Asymptote is y = 0 y-intercept is (0, ) DEFINITION OF e is an irrational numer (like π) e The natural eponential function is f ( ) e GRAPHING EXPONENTIALS Graph. y =. y = - 3. y = + 4. y = + 5. y = -3 -

3 EXPONENTIAL APPLICATIONS Margaret Madison, DDS, estimates that her dental equipment loses one-sith of its value each year. a. Determine the value of an -ray machine after 5 years if it cost $6 thousand new.. Determine how long until the machine is worth less than $5 thousand. SOLVING AN EXPONENTIAL EQUATION Solve for : LOGARITHMS The ase logarithm of, written log ( > 0 and ), is the eponent to which must e raised in order to yield. y = log is equivalent to y = 3

4 LOGARITHMS 3 = 8 so log 8 = 3 3 = 9 so log 3 9 = 5 3 = 5 so log 5 5 = 3 LOGARITHMS log 3 5 ecause log ecause log 9 3 ecause f ( ) log a IS THE INVERSE FUNCTION OF f ( ) a Otain the graph of the inverse y reflecting across y = f ( ) a f ( ) log a 4

9 CHANGE OF BASE FORMULA Let, a, and e positive real numers. Then Eample: Evaluate log loga log a 0.77 log 6 STEPS FOR SOLVING EXPONENTIAL EQUATIONS. Isolate the power on one side of the equation.. Rewrite the equation in logarithmic form. 3. Evaluate the logarithm. 4. Solve for the variale. SOLVING EXPONENTIAL EQUATIONS Solve for. e (0) 7 e e (0.75) 9 9

10 SOLVING EXPONENTIAL EQUATIONS Solve for e STEPS FOR SOLVING LOGARITHMIC EQUATIONS. Comine all logarithms using the properties of logarithms.. Isolate the logarithm on one side of the equation. 3. Rewrite the equation in eponential form. 4. Simplify and solve for the variale. 5. Check your answer!!! You may have answers that don t work.

Find the amount in the account after ten years if the interest is compounded a. annually. semiannually c. daily

12 COMPOUND INTEREST What principal should e deposited at 8.375% compounded monthly to ensure the account will e worth $0,000 in 0 years? CONTINUOUSLY COMPOUNDED INTEREST The amount accumulated in an account earing interest compounded continuously is A( t) rt Pe where P = principal invested r = interest rate (as a decimal) t = time in years CONTINUOUSLY COMPOUNDED INTEREST $5000 is invested at an interest rate of 8%, compounded continuously. How much is in the account after 0 years?

13 CONTINUOUSLY COMPOUNDED INTEREST What principal should e deposited at 8.375% compounded continuously to ensure the account will e worth $0,000 in 0 years? EXPONENTIAL GROWTH AND DECAY Eponential growth of a population is given y the formula P 0 ( t) P e where P 0 = initial size of the population k = relative rate of growth (positive) or decay (negative) t = time kt EXPONENTIAL GROWTH The population of Phoeni, Arizona, in 000 was.3 million and growing continuously at a 3% rate. a. Assuming this trend continues, estimate the population of Phoeni in 00.. Determine graphically or numerically when this population might reach million.
