Let's discuss             first.
Remember that there are two types of exponential functions:
Remember that the criteria for growth is . . . 
b > 1
Calculating Exponential Values
growth
y = a•(b)x
y = a•(       )x
The common form of the equation will be used for calculations:
The base, b will be expressed differently to make it more obviousthat it is greater than 1 . . .
where "r" is the percent increase.Also, these problems are time based so the variable "x" is replaced by "t".
So the modified equation looks like:
y = a•(       )
1+r

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•(       )

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)t
y = 8•(1.03)7
y = $
y = a•(      )

Answer: 
A special application of exponential growth is "compounded Interest".
Interest is often compounded (or calculated) more than once a year sothe above equation needs to be modified once again.
We need to divide the rate, "r" by the number of times we compoundin a year and multiply time, "t" by that same amount.
