2. The Secret of Math Success Japanese teachers and students are more likely than their American counterparts to believe that the key to doing well in math is studying and working hard. Americans tend to think that either you have mathematical intelligence or you don’t. How you approach math is much more important than how smart you are!

5. 1. Test Corrections (counted as a project grade – first one this semester, 10% of your grade) 1. Show or explain for full credit

6. Plan 1:  Linear function: m = 0.50x + 4.50  Salary paid had a common increase of 0.50 (slope) Plan 2:  Exponential function: m = 0.01 * 2 d – 1  Salary paid had a common factor of 2 (doubling each day)

7. Exponential Functions The variable is now the power (y = 2 x ) Notes: The axis scales do not match. You should expect that your T-chart will not have many useful plot points. Find a few points and with your knowledge of the general appearance of exponentials finish your graph.

8. Example 5-4a Determine whether the set of data displays exponential behavior. Method 1Look for a Pattern The domain values are at regular intervals of 10. Look for a common factor among the range values. 10 25 62.5 156.25 x 0102030 y 102562.5156.25 Answer: Since the range vales have a common factor of 2.5, this is a characteristic of exponential behavior.

9. Answer:The graph shows a rapidly increasing value of y as x increases. This is a characteristic of exponential behavior. Example 5-4b Method 2Graph the Data

10. Determine whether the set of data displays exponential behavior. Method 1Look for a Pattern The domain values are at regular intervals of 10. The range values have a common increase of 15. 10 25 40 55 +15 x 0102030 y 10254055 Answer:Since the domain values are at regular intervals and there is a common increase of 15, the data display linear behavior.

11. Answer:The graph is a line, not an exponential function. Example 5-4d Method 2Graph the Data

20. Reminder! Like terms have:  The same variable AND  The same exponent When combining like terms, add or subtract the numbers, but DO NOT touch the exponents!

21. Reminder! x + x = 2x x 2 + x 2 = 2x 2 x 2 – x 2 = 0x 2 = 0 3x 2 + 2x 2 = 5x 2 (when adding or subtracting do not touch the exponents) (x)(x) = x 2 (x 2 )(x 2 ) = x 4 (x 2 )(-x 2 )= -x 4 (3x 2 )(2x 2 ) = 6x 4 (when multiplying add the exponents) 3x 2 + 5x 2 = 8x 2 6y 2 – y 2 = 5y 2
