Although some of today’s lecture is from the book, some of it is not. You must take notes to be successful in calculus.

Page 3: 1.3 Exponential Functions Greg Kelly, Hanford High School, Richland, WashingtonPhoto by Vickie Kelly, 2004 Yosemite National Park, CA

We will be using the TI-89 calculator in this class.You may use either the TI-89 Titanium or the older TI-89.

TI-89 Titanium

The pictures in the lectures will usually illustrate the older TI-89.

Although the buttons on the Titanium Edition are different shapes and colors, they are in the same positions and have the same functions.

If $100 is invested for 4 years at 5.5% interest, compounded annually, the ending amount is:

4100 123.881.055

On the TI-89: 100 1.055 ^ 4 ENTER

At the end of each year, interest is paid on the amount in the account and added back into the account, so the amount of increase gets larger each year.

This is an example of an exponential function:

Population growth can often be modeled with an exponential function:

Ratio:

5023 4936 1.0176 5111 5023 1.0175

1.01761.02461.0175

World Population:

1986 4936 million1987 50231988 51111989 52011990 53291991 5422

The world population in any year is about 1.018 times the previous year.

in 2010: 195422 1.018P 7609.7

About 7.6 billion people.

Nineteen years past 1991.

Radioactive decay can also be modeled with an exponential function:

Suppose you start with 5 grams of a radioactive substance that has a half-life of 20 days. When will there be only one gram left?

After 20 days:1 5

40 days:2 51

In Pre-Calc you solved this using logs. Today we are going to solve it graphically for practice.

The TI-89 has the exponential growth and decay model built in as an exponential regression equation.

A regression equation starts with the points and finds the equation.

What does this equation predict for the population in 1990?

F3Trace

This lets us see values for the distinct points.

Moves to the line.

This lets us trace along the line.

11 ENTER Enters an x-value of 11.

What does this equation predict for the population in 1990?

11 ENTER Enters an x-value of 11.

In 1990, the population was predicted to be 283.4 million.

This is an over estimate of 33 million, or 13%. Why might this be?
