3. Modeling Exponential Situations

4. We have been modeling exponential situations since introducing the lesson!!!! When you’re modeling exponential situations, you’re given a real world situation in which you will need to set up an equation and solve for the final amount given a certain time

5. Exponential growth/decay

6. Example 1: The population of the popular town of Smithville in 2003 was estimated to be 35,000 people with an annual rate of increase of about 2.4%. Will this function model growth or decay? What is the growth factor? Write an equation to model future growth Use your equation to estimate the population in 2007 to the nearest hundred people.

7. You try 1: Matt bought a new car at a cost of $25,000. The car depreciates approximately 15% of its value each year. Will this function model growth or decay? What is the decay factor? Write an equation to model the decay value of this car. What will the car be worth in 10 years?

11. You try 2: Jose invests $500 at a bank offering 10% interest compounded quarterly. Find the amount of the investment at the end of 5 years (if untouched). Extension: What if the investment was compounded daily?

12. Compounded Continuously

13. Let’s Try: Tamika invests $600 at a bank offering 12% interests compounded continuously. Find the amount of the investment at the end of 7 years (if untouched).
