Entrance Ticket Exponential Function

Determine the amount of money, to the nearest cent, in the account after 15 years.

Reminder: Be sure to use correct format for money- $8901.45

Define exponential decay.

• an exponential function where 0<b<1 and as x increases, y decreases exponentially

• an exponential function where 0<b<1 and as x increases, y increases exponentially

• an exponential function where 0<b<1 and as x decreases, y increases exponentially

• an exponential function where 0<b<1 and as x decreases, y decreases exponentially

What is the relationship between exponential equations and logarithmic equations.

• When both graphed they form the EXACT same graph

• Logarithmic functions are inverses of exponential functions

• There is no relationship since exponential functions are used to determine growth and decay

• Logarithmic functions is just another fancy way to rewrite exponential functions

Is the table linear, exponential, or neither?

• Linear

• Exponential

• Neither
