Bill Gates has a job offer for you. He's going to need you for 30 days. You'll have your choice of two payment options:

1. One cent on the first day, two cents on the second day, and double your salary every day thereafter for the thirty days; or

2. Exactly $1,000,000.

WHICH OPTION WILL YOU CHOOSE???

HOW MUCH MONEY WOULD YOU EARN AFTER 30 DAYS with option #1???

UNIT e: Ln 1

EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS.

What are some real life examples of exponential functions?????

Examples of exponential growth and decay:

• The growth of resource-rich populations. (vine leaves vs. time)[pic]

• Savings accumulating compound interest. (amount vs. time)[pic]

• The spread of rumours. (insiders vs. time)[pic]

• The rise and fall of fashions. (hats vs. time)

• The decay of radioactive elements or medication in the human body.

HOW MUCH MONEY WOULD YOU EARN AFTER 30 DAYS with option #1???

CHALLENGE: Find a function rule (aka equation) that allows you to calculate the answer

Day 7 you made $1.28.

Day 14 = $163.84

Day 21 = $ 20 971.52

Day 30 = $ 10 737 418.24

Function Rule: f(x)=0.01(2)^x

Explain each value in this equation

The following two formulas are used most often in real life application.

Exponential GROWTH [pic]

Exponential DECAY [pic]

CLASSWORK: Exponential Functions Application

Use the appropriate formula to solve each problem.

Ex. 1: In an experiment, bacteria are put into a petri dish and are allowed to grow.

The number of bacteria in the dish after n hours is found to be 2000 ( 3n.

a. How many bacteria were put into the dish at the beginning of the experiment?

b. How fast is the population of bacteria growing?

c. How many bacteria are in the dish after 5 hours?

Ex 2: Growth of bacteria in food products causes a need to “time-date” some products (like milk) so that shoppers will buy the product and consume it before the number of bacteria grows too large and the product goes bad. Suppose that the initial count of bacteria is 500; t(0) = 500. Each day, the amount of bacteria in food doubles. The product should not be consumed after the bacteria count reaches 4,000,000.

a) Write the rule representing bacteria growth in food products.

b) After how many days should you dispose of the product ?

Ex 3: A total of $9,000 is invested at an annual interest rate of 2.5%, compounded annually. Find the balance in the account after 5 years.

Ex. 3: The population of Rochester is 17,500 and is projected to grow at a rate of 4.5% per decade.

a. Write an expression for the projected population of Rochester after n decades.

b. Predict the population, to the nearest hundred, of Rochester after 40 years.

Ex. 4: Insulin is an important hormone produced by the body. In 5% to 10% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes, the disease is due to the body’s inability to produce insulin. Those people have to take medicine containing insulin. Insulin breaks down very quickly once injected into the bloodstream. When 10 units of insulin are delivered into the system, the amount remaining after t minutes is decreasing by 15% per minute.

a. Write the function rule that shows the remaining traces of insulin in the bloodstream after t minutes.

b. Calculate the amount of insulin remaining after 2 hours

c. When is i(t) = 0?? EXPLAIN!!

Ex. 5:. ‘CARGO’ company decides to buy a new delivery van for $25,000. Based on their usage of the vans they own, the van’s resale value decreases at a rate of 20% per year. What is the resale value of the van 10 years after its purchase?

a. Write an expression for the value of the van after n years.

Exponential Functions:

GENERAL RULE: [pic]where [pic],[pic],[pic]

and x is any real number.

Evaluating Exponential Functions

Examples: Use a calculator to evaluate each function at the indicated value of x.

1. [pic] f(-3.1)(0.117

2. [pic] f(()( 0.113

3. [pic] f(3/4) =0.465

Graphs of Exponential Functions

Example: In the same viewing window, graph the functions and describe their similarities and differences.

[pic] vs. [pic]

[pic] vs. [pic]

Exponential growth , decay

Y-axis ( axes of symmetry, reflection over x =0

Finding the Y-intercept:

f(x) = 4x f(0) = 0

f(x) = 4x³ f(0) = 0 f(x) = 4^x f(0) = 1

f(x) = 4^x +12 f(0) = 13

Example: In the same viewing window, graph the functions
