3.1 Exponential Functions and their Graphs
Students will recognize and evaluate exponential functions with base a.
Students will graph exponential functions.
Students will recognize, evaluate, and graph exponential functions with base e.
Students will use exponential functions to model and solve real-life problems.
Example 1
Use a calculator to evaluate each function at the indicated value of x.
a. b. c.f x x( ) 2 f x x( ) 2 f x x( ) .6
Example 2
In the same coordinate plane, sketch the graph of each function by hand.

Compound Interest
Annually Compounded Interest:
= Accumulated amount after n years
P = principle (invested amount)
r = the interest rate in decimal form (5% = .05)
n = time in years
Compounded Interest m times per year:
m = # of times per year interest is compounded (i.e. m = 1 is yearly, m = 12 is monthly, m = 365 is daily)
Compounded Interest continuously:
e is the natural number

Example: Invest $1 for 1 year at 100%Consider how m affects the accumulated amount:
Yearly m = 1
Bi-annually m = 2
Monthly m = 12
Daily m = 365
Hourly m = 8760
