    Compound Interest
    • Compound interest formula- is the interest
    paid on the initial investment, called the
    principal, and on previously earned
    interest.

    • Continuous compound interest- when


    interest is compounded continually.

    • Yearly = annually = 1
    • Semi annually = 2
    • Quarterly = 4
    • Monthly = 12
    • Weekly = 52
    • Daily = 365

    Ex.1 You deposit $1,000 in an account that


    pays 8% annual interest. Find the balance
    after 5 years if the interest is compounded
    with the given frequency.
    A. Annually

    B. Quarterly

    C. Daily

    D. Which would you choose?


    Growth and Decay
    Growth:

    Decay:

    Ex.2. Each year the local country club


    sponsors a tennis tournament. Play starts
    with 128 participants. During each round,
    half of the players are eliminated. How many
    players remain after 5 rounds?
    Graphing Exponentials
    • Exponential equations are in the form

    • If b > 0 and b < 1, it is decreasing


    • If b > 1 then it is increasing
    • Asymptote- is a line that approaches a given
    curve closely.
    • Exponentials have an asymptote, the
    asymptote will be the vertical shift(k).

    • The y intercept can be found where x is


    zero.
    • (h) horizontal shift
    • (a) vertical stretches or compressions

    Ex.1
    Ex.2
    Ex.3
    Characteristics of Exponential Graphs
    • Domain: all possible x values
    • Range: all possible y values
    • X-intercept: where the graph crosses the x
    axis
    • Y-intercept: where the graph crosses the y
    axis
    • Interval of increase- domain of increase
    • Interval of decrease- domain of decrease
    • End behaviors: describes the course of the
    graph to the far left and far right
    Comparing Linear and
    Exponential Functions
    • Rate of Change- the measure of slope of a
    line, rise over run.
