*Writing Exponential Equations: Do an exponential regression



*Writing Exponential Equations: Do an exponential regression

y = a(b)x a=y-intercept b=starting value. Growth if b>1

*Writing Equations in Log Form:

Base of exponent becomes Base of log. The isolated number goes with the log

Example: 52 = 25 ( 2 = log5 25

If you have an e then you just put “ln’s” to cancel: e5 = x ( 5 = ln x

If you have an ln then you just put “e’s” to cancel: ln y = a ( y = ea

*Typing logs into calculador

Logwa = log(a) / log(w) Example: log46 = log (6) / log (4) = .7737

Log3x = log3 (x + 5)( Y1=log(x)/log(3) y2 = log(x+5) / log (3)

*Writing One Equivalent Log

Log3a + log3 2 ( log3 (2a) 2log3a ( log3 (a2) 5log3a – log3x ( log3 (a5/x)

Ex: 3log2x – 4log22 + ½ log29 ( log2x3 – log224 + log291/2 ( log2 [pic]

*Exponential Growth Problems: a is the starting value, y is the finished value

Appreciation/Growth y=a(1+r)t r is the rate as a decimal

Depreciation/Decay y=a(1- r)t r is the rate as a decimal

Other Exponential y=abx b is what is being multiplied

y=3(1.067)x implies that it STARTS at 3 and GROWS BY 6.7% (106.7-100=6.7%)

y=5(.92)x implies that it STARTS at 5 and Decays by 8% (100-92=8%)

If you are given data, then do a “regression” to find the equation.
