Review for Exponential Growth

Credit will not be given for rounding errors or adding commas

when the instructions state not to add them.

Remember to read the instructions and round accordingly.

Quiz for exponential functions:
Calculating Exponential Values
b > 1
growth
y = a•(       )x
The common form of the equation will be used for calculations:

The base, 'b' can be expressed differently...

                b may be 2 if doubling, b may be 3 if tripling, etc. . . .

If the problem calls for a percent increase, the equation will be like above

where "r" is the percent increase.


So the general equation looks like:
y = a•(b)x
y = a•(  )
1+r

b

x

Where 'b' is the growth factor
Let's see if you can identify the numerical values given the terms:
The cost of a movie ticket is $8, which increases by 3% each year.Find the cost of the ticket after 7 years.
Here is the equation for the exponential function: y = 8•(1+0.03)t or y = 8•(1.03)t
Growth factor:(a single value)
Overview of terminology for growth:
Initial amount: $
y = a•(       )
initial amount
1+r
Calculating Exponential Values
growth factor: a single value 1+r

x

Percent increase:(as a percent)
What value will be put in for "x":
percent increase
time
%
Let's see if you can calculate the cost of the movie ticket 7 years later.
The cost of a movie ticket is $8, which increases by 3% each year.Find the cost of the ticket after 7 years.
Here is the equation for the exponential function:
y = 8•(1+0.03)x
y = 8•(1.03)7
y = $
y = a•(      )
1+r

Answer: 

Some of the new 'super' bacteria can split into two identical cells (double)

every 30 minutes.

 

Suppose 5 of these "super" bacteria were to land in a cut on your arm

around noon. If your body is unable to resist / kill the bacteria, how

many of these bacteria will be in your system by midnight?

 

(remember to consider the 30 minute intervals)

Number of bacteria by midnight:

Suppose you invested $50 in a savings account that pays 3.5% each year.

 

How much would you have in your account after 1 year?

5 years?  10 years?  20 years?

20 years?
5 years?

10 years?

1 year?
