Question
Answer
Exponential Function   A function of the form f(x)=b^x b>0, b is not 1 & x is a real number  
🗑
Solve for x 2^x=16   <p>2^x=16</p> <p>2^4=16</p> <p>x=4</p>  
🗑
Solve for x 3^x=9   <p>3^x=9</p> <p>3^2=9</p> <p>x=2</p>  
🗑
Solve for x 10000^x=100000   <p>10000^x=100000</p> <p>(10^4)^x=10^5</p> <p>10^4x=10^5</p> <p>4x=5</p> <p>x=5/4</p>  
🗑
One type of uranium has a daily radioactive decay of 0.5%. If 10 pounds of uranium is available today, how much will remain after 10 days. Use y=10(2.7)^-0.005t let t be 10 days   <p>y=10(2.7)^-0.005(10)</p> <p>y=10(2.7)^-0.05</p> <p>y=10(0.95155)</p> <p>y~9.55 lbs</p>  
🗑
Exponential Growth   y=C(1+r)^x where C is the initial amount, x is the time interval, r is the growth rate (often %) and (1+r) is growth factor  
🗑
Find the exponential growth Original amount is $300 Growth rate is 5% Number of years is 8   <p>y=C(1+r)^x</p> <p>y=300(1+0.05)^8</p> <p>y=300(1.48)</p> <p>y~444</p>  
🗑
Exponential Decay   y=C(1-r)^x Where C is the initial amount, r is the decay rate (often %), x is the number of time intervals, (1-r) is decay factor  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
