1.4 Exponential Functions
An exponential function is a function of the form
Where a ≠ 0, b > 0, and b ≠ 1. The exponent must be a variable.

What conclusions can we make looking at these graphs?Use your calculator to sketch these graphs!

Graph these on your calculator. What can we conclude? Are there other ways to write these equations?

Comments on y = bx
All exponential graphs Go through the point (0, 1)Go through the point (1, b)Are asymptotic to x-axis.
The graph f(x) = b-x =

Illustration 4: (page 39)
Population of Nevada 2000-2006 Dividing each year’s population by the previous year’s population gives us
We find a common ratio!

Illustration 4 (continued)
These functions are called exponential growth functions. As t increases P rapidly increasing.

Thus, the modeling equation is P(t) = 2.020(1.036)t

Illustration 5: Drugs in the Body
Suppose Q = f(t), where Q is the quantity of ampicillin, in mg, in the bloodstream at time t hours since the drug was given. At t = 0, we have Q = 250. Since the quantity remaining at the end of each hour is 60% of the quantity remaining the hour before we have

Illustration 5: (continued)
You should observe that the values are decreasing! The function Q = f(t) = 250(0.6)t
Is an exponential decay function. As t increases, the function values get arbitrarily close to zero.

Comments
The largest possible domain for the exponential function is all real numbers, provided a >0.

Linear vs Exponential
Linear function has a constant rate of change
An exponential function has a constant percent, or relative, rate of change.

Example 1: (page 41)
The amount of adrenaline in the body can change rapidly. Suppose the initial amount is 25 mg. Find a formula for A, the amount in mg, at time t minutes later if A is
a) Increasing by 0.4 mg per minuteb) Decreasing by 0.4 mg per minutec) Increasing by 3% per minuted) Decreasing by 3% per minute

Example 1: (continued)
Solutiona)A = 25 + 0.4 t - linear increaseb)A = 25 – 0.4t - linear decreasec)A = 25(1.03)t - exponential growthd)A = 25(0.97)t - exponential decay
