Name Date Per. Ms. Williams/Mrs. Hertel Day 7: Solving Exponential Word Problems involving Logarithms Warm Up Exponential growth occurs when a quantity increases by the same rate r in each period t. When this happens, the value of the quantity at any given time can be calculated as a function of the rate and the original amount. Exponential decay occurs when a quantity decreases by the same rate r in each time period t. Just like exponential growth, the value of the quantity at any given time can be calculated by using the rate and the original amount. In Summary,
Example 1: Growth The original value of a painting is $9,000 and the value increases by 7% each year. Part a: Then find the painting s value in 15 years. Part b: In what year, will the painting be worth $50,000? Example 2: Decay The population of a town is decreasing at a rate of 3% per year. In 2000 there were 1700 people. Part a: Find the population in 2012. Part b: In what year, will the population be double?
