7.1 Graph Exponential Growth Functions Name:__________________ Objective: To graph and use exponential growth functions. Algebra 2 Standard 12.0 *An exponential function has the form y ab x where a ≠ 0 and the base b is a positive number other than 1. *If a > 0 and b> 1, then the function y ab x is an exponential growth function and b is called the _______________ factor. * f x b x , where b > 1, is the parent function for exponential growth functions with base b. The general shape of the graph is: The x-axis is an _____________________ of the graph. An asymptote is a line that the graph approaches more and more closely, but not actually touch. The graph rises from left to right, passing through the points (0 ,1) and (1, b). The domain of f x b x is all real numbers. The range is y > 0. Ex. 1 Graph y b x for b > 1. Graph y 5 x Step 1: Make a table x -2 -1 0 1 y 2 3 Step 2: Plot the points from the table. Step 3: Draw, from left to right, a smooth curve that begins just above the x-axis, passes through the plotted points and moves up. * Transformation of Exponential Functions f ( x) b x a changes steepness : y a b xh k a 1 stretches f(x) vertically. 0 a 1 shrinks f(x) vertically. negative a reflects f(x) over the x-axis. h shifts left-right: positive h shifts f(x) to the right negative h shifts f(x) to the left k shifts up-down positive k shifts f(x) up. negative k shifts f(x) down. The y-intercept of the graph of y ab x occurs at (0, a), rather than (0, 1). Alg 2 Adv. Ch. 7A Notes-page 1 Ex. 2 Graph y ab x for b > 1.

State the domain and range. *Exponential Growth models: When a real-life quantity increases by a fixed percent each year (or other time period), the amount y of the quantity after t years can be modeled by the equation t y a 1 r where a is the initial amount and r is the percent increase expressed as a decimal. The quantity (1+r) is the growth factor. Ex. 4: in 1970, the population of Kern County, California was about 330,000. From 1970 to 2000, the county population grew at an average annual rate of about 2.4%. Write an exponential growth model giving the population P of Kern County t years after 1970. About how many people lived in Kern County in 1990? *Compound Interest is the interest paid in an initial investment and on previously earned interest. Consider an initial principal P deposited in an account that pays interest at an annual rate r (expressed as a decimal), compounded n times per year. nt r The amount A in the account after t years is given by the equation: A P 1 . n Ex. 5: You deposit $5500 in an account that pays 3.6% annual interest. Find the balance after 2 years if the interest is compounded semiannually. You Try: Find the balance if the interest is compounded monthly. You Try: Estimate when the balance will be $6000 if the interest is compounded monthly. Alg 2 Adv.

The base b of an exponential decay function is called the _______________ factor. * f x b x , where 0 < b < 1, is the parent function for exponential decay functions with base b. The general shape of the graph is: The graph falls from left to right, passing through the points (0 ,1) and (1, b). The x-axis is an asymptote of the graph. The domain of f x b x is all real numbers. The range is y > 0. Graph. Then state the domain, range and asymptote. Ex. 1: 2 y 3 3 x You try: Graph. Alg 2 Adv.

The quantity 1- r is the decay factor. Ex. 4: A new car costs $25,000. The value of the car decreases by 15% each year. Write an exponential decay model giving the car’s value y (in dollars) after t years. Estimate the value after 4 years. You Try: The value of a snowmobile has been decreasing by 7% each year since it was new. After 3 years, the value is $3000. Find the original cost of the snowmobile.

If a > 0 and r > 0, the function is an exponential growth function.

Use the graphing calculator to estimate the annual sales 6 years after the product went on the market. *Continuously Compounded Interest: When interest is compounded continuously, the amount A in an account after t years is given by the formula A Pe where P is the principal and r is the annual interest rate expressed as a decimal. rt Ex. 5: You deposit $3000 in an account that pays 2.5% annual interest compounded continuously.
