1. 7.7 EXPONENTIAL GROWTH AND DECAY: Exponential Decay: An equation that decreases. Exponential Growth: An equation that increases. Growth Factor: 1 plus the percent rate of change which is expressed as a decimal. Decay Factor: 1 minus the percent rate of change expressed as a decimal.

2. GOAL:

3. Definition: An EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION is a function of the form: Base Exponent Where a ≠ 0, b > o, b ≠ 1, and x is a real number. Constant

4. GRAPHING: To provide the graph of the equation we can go back to basics and create a table. Ex: What is the graph of y = 3∙2 x ?

5. GRAPHING: Xy = 3∙2 x y -23∙2 (-2) 3∙2 (-1) 0 3∙2 (0) 3 = 3∙1 1 3∙2 (1) 6 = 3∙2 2 3∙2 (2) 12 = 3∙4

6. GRAPHING: Xy -2 0 3 1 6 2 12 This graph grows fast = Exponential Growth

7. YOU TRY IT:

8. GRAPHING: Xy -212 6 0 3 = 3∙1 1 2 =3∙(2) 2 =3∙(2) 1

9. GRAPHING: Xy -2 0 3 1 6 2 12 This graph goes down = Exponential Decay

10. YOU TRY IT:

11. y = 3∙2 x  Base = 2  Exponential growth  y- intercept (x=0) = 3

13. MODELING: We use the concept of exponential growth in the real world: Ex: Since 2005, the amount of money spent at restaurants in the U.S. has increased 7% each year. In 2005, about 36 billion was spend at restaurants. If the trend continues, about how much will be spent in 2015?

14. EVALUATING: To provide the solution we must know the following formula: y = a∙b x y = total a = initial amount b = growth factor (1 + rate) x = time in years.

15. SOLUTION: Y= total: Since 2005, … has increased 7% each year. In 2005, about 36 billion was spend at restaurants…. about how much will be spent in 2015? $36 billion Initial: Growth: 1 + 0.07 Time (x): 10 years (2005-2015) unknown y = a∙b x y = 36∙(1.07) 10 y = 36∙(1.967) y = 70.8 b.

16. BANKING: We also use the concept of exponential growth in banking: A = total balance P = Principal (initial) amount n = # of times compound interest t = time in years. r = interest rate in decimal form

17. MODELING GROWTH: Ex: You are given $6,000 at the beginning of your freshman year. You go to a bank and they offer you 7% interest. How much money will you have after graduation if the money is: a) Compounded annually b) Compounded quarterly c) Compounded monthly

18. COMPOUNDED ANNUALLY: A = ? P = $6000 n = 1 t = 4 yrs r = 0.07 A = 6000(1.07) 4 A = 6000(1.3107) A = $7864.77

19. COMPOUNDED QUARTERLY: A = ? P = $6000 n = 4 times t = 4 yrs r = 0.07 A = 6000(1.0175) 16 A = 6000(1.3199) A = $7919.58

20. COMPOUNDED MONTHLY: A = ? P = $6000 n = 12 times t = 4 yrs r = 0.07 A = 6000(1.0058) 48 A = 6000(1.3221) A = $7932.32

21. MODELING DECAY: Ex: Doctors can use radioactive iodine to treat some forms of cancer. The half-life of iodine-131 is 8 days. A patient receives a treatment of 12 millicuries (a unit of radioactivity) of iodine-131. How much iodine-131 remains in the patient after 16 days?:

22. DECAY: To provide the solution we g back to the following formula: y = a∙b x y = total a = initial amount b = decay factor (1 - rate) x = time in years.

23. SOLUTION: Y= total: The half-life of iodine-131 is 8 days. A patient receives a treatment of 12 millicuries (a unit of radioactivity) of iodine-131. How much iodine-131 remains in the patient 16 days later?: 12 Initial: Growth: 1- 1/2 Time (x): 16/8 = 2 unknown y = a∙b x y = 12∙(1/2) 2 y = 12∙(.25) y = 3
