1 Ma 093 and MA 117A - Eponenial Models Topic 1 Compound Ineres 15) Compound Ineres A person invess $7000 a 10% ineres compounded annuall. a) Find an equaion for he value of he invesmen afer ears. = a* b A= P(1 + r) A= 7000(1 +.10) A= 7000(1.1) = ears afer invesmen was made A = amoun of mone in accoun Coordinaes of poins ( ears, A dollars) WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS CAN WE ASK ABOUT THIS? READ BELOW b) Show graph and label. c) Wha is he -inercep? Wha does i mean wihin cone? If = 0, hen A = The -inercep is The poin is (0 ears, $7000) Meaning: The iniial deposi ino he accoun was $7000 d) Wha is he meaning of b in he equaion = a* b? In his problem, b = 1.1 Inerpre as a rae: The amoun of mone in he accoun increases a a rae of 10% per ear. 1.1 = = 1 + r. Since r = 0.1, hen he rae is 10% per ear. Inerpre as a muliplier: The amoun in he accoun in an ear is obained b mulipling he amoun of he previous ear b 1.1 e) How much will be in he accoun in 8 ears? 8 A = 7000(1.1) = $15, In 8 ears he accoun will have $15, f) When will he amoun in he accoun double? = 7000(1.1) Solve wih he calculaor GRAPHICAL APPROACH Ener Y1 = 7000(1.1) Y2 = Press WINDOW and use [0, 15] for and [0, 15000] for Press GRAPH I will ake abou 7.3 ears o double This is for eam 3 in MATH 093 And for eam 2 in Mah 117A Now solve using algebra: (isolae eponenial and ake logarihms) 2 = 1.1 log 2 = log( 1.1 ) log 2 = *log1.1 log 2 log = =

2 16) Compound Ineres on he da ou were born, our grandparens se a college fund for ou. The deposied $10,000 in an accoun ha paid 8% compounded annuall. How much will ou have available for college when ou urn 18? P = 10,000 r = 0.08 A= P(1 + r) = 18 A = 10000(1 +.08) = 10000(1.08) 18 A = 10000(1.08) = $39, ) The populaion of a counr was 2.5 million people in he ear 2000 and since hen i has been increasing a a rae of 2% annuall. Tha is, each ear, he populaion is abou imes he previous ear s populaion. Wrie an equaion for he populaion of he counr (in millions) a ears since he ear A= P(1 + r) = 2.5 (1.02)^ 18) The revenue from music downloads was $1.98 billion in 2007 and has grown b abou 86% per ear since hen. Tha is, each ear he revenue is abou imes he previous ear s revenue. a) Find an equaion for he revenue, R() (in billions of dollars) in he ear ha is ears since b) Find R(7) and inerpre in cone wih correc unis. (a) R() = 1.98 (1.86)^ (b) R(7) = 1.98(1.86)^7 = This represens he poin (7 ears since 2007, billion dollars) In 2014, he revenue from music downloads reached billion dollars

3 MORE PROBLEMS TO PRACTICE WHICH ARE NOT IN THE HANDOUT 19) Compound Ineres A person invess $10,000 AT 5% ineres compounded annuall. Find an equaion for he value of he invesmen afer ears. = a* b A= P(1 + r) A= 10000(1 +.05) A= 10000(1.05) = ears afer invesmen was made A = amoun of mone in accoun Coordinaes of poins ( ears, A dollars) How much will here be in he accoun afer 15 ears? A = 10000(1.05)^15=$ WHAT ELSE CAN I ASK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? (1) Graph an eponenial increasing funcion, label aes and he -inercep. (2) Wha is he -inercep? Wha does i mean wihin cone? The -inercep is 10,000. Meaning: Iniiall, we deposied $10000 ino he accoun (3) Wha is he meaning of b in he equaion = a* b? In his problem, b = 1.05 The amoun of mone in he accoun increases a a rae of 5% per ear = = 1 + r. Since r = 0.05, hen he rae is 5% per ear (4) Think on quesions of differen pes: a) TYPE: Given, find A: How much will be in he accoun in 10 ears? 10 A = 10000(1.05) = $16, In 10 ears he accoun will have $16, b) TYPE: Given A, find : When will he amoun have $13, = 10000(1.05)? Solve wih he calculaor GRAPHICAL APPROACH Ener Y1 = 10000(1.05) Y2 = Press WINDOW and use [0, 15] for and [0, 15000] for Press GRAPH In abou 5.4 ears he accoun will have $13,000 Topic 2 Consrucing an eponenial funcion

4 20) The populaion of a counr is growing eponeniall. In he ear 2000 here were 3.5 million people and he populaion doubles ever five ears. Produce an equaion o model he populaion of his counr in erms of ears since = a* b Years since 2000 Populaion (millions of people) (i doubles from 2.5) = 3.5* b 5 7 = 3.5* b divide b = b 1/5 2 = b b = = 3.5*1.149 Pu his in he Y= of he calculaor and look a he TABLE o see if i makes sense, compare he -values for = 0 and = 5 wih he ones on he able above ` The calculaor able shows he poin (5, ) while he able on he op shows (5, 7). Wh is he value differen? Because in he funcion he value of b = has been rounded, i s no eac.

5 21) The number of baceria in is growing eponeniall. Assume ha now here are 2000 baceria and he number riple ever hour. Wrie an equaion o model he number of baceria in he dish in erms of he number of hours from now. X hours from now Y = number of baceria (i riples) = a* b = 2000* b Since he baceria riples EVERY hour, hen, he muliplier is 3 The equaion is: = 2000*3 22) The number of baceria in is growing eponeniall. Assume ha now here are 2000 baceria and he number riple ever 10 hours. Wrie an equaion o model he number of baceria in he dish in erms of he number of hours from now. X hours from now Y = number of baceria (riples) = = a* b 2000* b = 2000*b 3 = b 10 1/10 3 b = b = = 2000*1.116
