2. Exponential Functions
If b > 0, b  1, then f (x) = bx defines the exponential function with base, b. b is the growth or decay factor. Note: The transformation (translations) rules also apply to exponential functions.
f(x) = a  b(x-h) +k , where a, h and k tell us how the functions moves

3. Graphs of Exponential Functions
Example Graph f(x) = 2x. Determine the domain and range of f.

4. Graphs of Exponential Functions (Growth)
Example Graph f(x) = 2x. Determine the domain and range of f.

5. Graphs of Exponential Functions (Decay)
Example Graph f(x) = ½ x. Determine the domain and range of f.

9. Compound Interest Formula
Suppose that a principal of P dollars is invested at an annual interest rate r (in decimal form), compounded n times per year. Then, the amount A accumulated after t years is given by the formula

11. The Natural Number e e is an irrational number
Since e is an important base, calculators are programmed to find powers of e.

12. Continuous Compounding Formula
If an amount of P dollars is deposited at a rate of interest r (in decimal form) compounded continuously for t years, then the final amount in dollars is A = Pert. Example Suppose $5000 is deposited in an account paying 3% compounded continuously for 5 years. Find the total amount on deposit at the end of 5 years.

13. Continuous Compounding Formula
If an amount of P dollars is deposited at a rate of interest r (in decimal form) compounded continuously for t years, then the final amount in dollars is A = Pert. Example Suppose $5000 is deposited in an account paying 3% compounded continuously for 5 years. Find the total amount on deposit at the end of 5 years. Solution A = 5000e0.03(5) = 5000e0.15 ≈ The final balance is $
