These functions obey the usual laws of exponents. For
instance, here are some familiar properties.
1. a0 = 1 2. axay = ax + y
3. 4. (ax)y = axy
When modeling the half-life of a radioactive sample, it is
convenient to use as the base of the exponential model.
(Half-life is the number of years required for half of the
atoms in a sample of radioactive material to decay.)

The half-life of carbon-14 is about 5715 years. A sample
contains 1 gram of carbon-14. How much will be present in
10,000 years?
Example 1 – Radioactive Half-Life Model

The half-life of carbon-14 is about 5715 years. A sample
contains 1 gram of carbon-14. How much will be present in
10,000 years?
Solution:
Let t = 0 represent the present time and let y represent the
amount (in grams) of carbon-14 in the sample.
Using a base of , you can model y by the equation
Notice that when t = 5715, the amount is reduced to half of
the original amount.
Example 1 – Radioactive Half-Life Model

When t = 11,430, the amount is reduced to a quarter of the
original amount, and so on.
To find the amount of carbon-14 after 10,000 years,
substitute 10,000 for t.
≈ 0.30 gram
The graph of y is shown in
Figure 5.25.

Logarithmic functions to the base a have properties similar
to those of the natural logarithmic function.
1. loga 1 = 0
2. loga xy = loga x + loga y
3. loga xn = n loga x
4. loga = loga x – loga y
From the definitions of the exponential and logarithmic
functions to the base a, it follows that f(x) = ax and
g(x) = loga x are inverse functions of each other.
Bases Other than e

The logarithmic function to the base 10 is called the
common logarithmic function. So, for common
logarithms, y = 10x if and only if x = log10 y.

Differentiation and Integration
To differentiate exponential and logarithmic functions to
other bases, you have three options:
(1) use the definitions of ax and loga x and differentiate
using the rules for the natural exponential and
logarithmic functions,
(2) use logarithmic differentiation, or
(3) use the following differentiation rules for bases other
than e.

Bases Other than e The base of the natural exponential function is e. This
“natural” base can be used to assign a meaning to a
general base a.

Occasionally, an integrand involves an exponential function
to a base other than e. When this occurs, there are two
options:
(1) convert to base e using the formula ax = e(In a)x and then
integrate, or
(2) integrate directly, using the integration formula

Applications of Exponential Functions
Suppose P dollars is deposited in an account at an annual
interest rate r (in decimal form). If interest accumulates in
the account, what is the balance in the account at the end
of 1 year? The answer depends on the number of times n
the interest is compounded according to the formula
A = P

32
Applications of Exponential Functions
For instance, the result for a deposit of $1000 at 8%
interest compounded n times a year is shown in the table.

33
Applications of Exponential Functions
As n increases, the balance A approaches a limit. To
develop this limit, use the following theorem.
![Page 34: Logarithmic, Exponential, and Other Transcendental Functionsgourley.weebly.com/uploads/5/0/9/1/5091587/section... · Logarithmic functions to the base a have properties similar to](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/6022b415919d1d26196b30c5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Applications of Exponential Functions
To test the reasonableness of this theorem, try evaluating
[(x + 1)/x]x for several values of x, as shown in the table.

Applications of Exponential Functions
Now, let’s take another look at the formula for the balance
A in an account in which the interest is compounded
n times per year. By taking the limit as n approaches
infinity, you obtain
![Page 36: Logarithmic, Exponential, and Other Transcendental Functionsgourley.weebly.com/uploads/5/0/9/1/5091587/section... · Logarithmic functions to the base a have properties similar to](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/6022b415919d1d26196b30c5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Applications of Exponential Functions
This limit produces the balance after 1 year of continuous
compounding. So, for a deposit of $1000 at 8% interest
compounded continuously, the balance at the end of 1 year
would be
A = 1000e0.08
≈ $1083.29.
