Essential QuestionHow do we gain new insight into exponentialgrowth and decay by understanding the differentialequation dy/dx = ky?
Separable Differential Equation
A differential equation of the form
is called separable. We separate the variables by writing it in the form
xgyfdx
dy
dxxgdyyf
1
The solution is found by antidifferentiating each side with respect to its thusly isolated variable.

The Law of Exponential Change
tkoeyy
The constant k is the growth constant if k > 0 or the decay constant if k < 0.
Continuously Compounded Interest
If the interest is added continuously at a rate proportional to the amount in the account, you can model the growth of the account with the initial value problem:
Differential equation: Ardt
dA
Initial condition: oAA 0
The amount of money in the account after t years at an annual interest rate r:

Example Compounding Interest Continuously
2. Suppose you deposit $500 in an account that pays 5.3% annual interest. How much will you have 4 years later if the interest is (a) compounded continuously? (b) compounded monthly?

Newton’s Law of Cooling
The rate at which an object’s temperature is changing at any given time is roughly proportional to the difference between its temperature and the temperature of the surrounding medium.
sTTkdt
dT
Since dT = d ( T – TS ), rewrite as:
ss TTkTTdt
d
Its solution, by the law of exponential change, is:
tksos eTTTT
Where To is the temperature at time t = 0.
Example Using Newton’s Law of Cooling
4. A temperature probe is removed from a cup of coffee and placed in water that has a temperature of TS = 4.5o C. Temperature readings T, as recorded in the table below are taken after 2 sec, 5 sec, and every other 5 sec thereafter.Estimate.
a. The coffee’s temperature at the time the temperature probe was removed.
b. The time when the temperature probe reading will be 8o C.
