Pg. 130: 1,2,3,7,10,14,15,17,19,26

Lesson 10 - 3.4#1 Continuous Growth (e) - Match graphs of exponential with different values for b:

Exponential growth: y = a(b)t , where b > 1

Note: the larger the value of b the faster the function grows: So 3 > e > 2

Lesson 10 - 3.4#2 Exponential decreasing function (e) - Match graphs of exponential with different values for k:

For exponential with continuous percent rate (e) for the form: y = a(e)t , where e = 2.7142.., and k any real number except 0, larger values of k makes the function grows faster.

So fastest percent rate for k is

(a) Graph III

(b) Graph II

(c) Graph IV

(d) Graph I

Lesson 10 - 3.4#3 For population P = 25,000 when t = 0 and continuous rate, k of 7.5% per year:

Exponential increasing function:

Pt = P0(e)kt

(a) Formula is Pt = 25000(e)0.075 t

(b) Yearly rate is r, so find r when

Or rate is 7.79%, Yearly rate must be more to catch up to a continuos rate that grows faster each year.

Lesson 10 - 3.4#7 Given nominal rate (yearly interest rate) find balance after t = 1.

Rate = 1%,

Compounded weekly (n = 52) yields $505.03

Compounded every minutes (n = 52600) yields $ 505.03

Compounded continuously (e) yields $ 505.03

Lesson 10 - 3.4#10 Given nominal rate (yearly interest rate) find balance after t = 1.

Rate = 8%,

effective annual rate => (1 + (0.01/52)^52 = 1.0100491 or r = 0.0100491
So effective rate is 1.0049%

Lesson 10 - 3.4#14 Match function without a calculator for y = ex , y = e-x , and y = -ex .

Note: for y = e kx , when k is positive it is an increasing function and when k is negative it is a decreasing function. When the coefficient of e is negative is suggest that the graph has been flipped across the x-axis.

Lesson 10 - 3.4#15 Find t for exponential growth problem, given .

When will V = 3000? or find t when

Lesson 10 - 3.4#17 Find t for exponential doubling problem, given .

When will V = 2(537) = 1074? or find t when

Lesson 10 - 3.4#19 Comparing two exponential growth investments (assume V0 = $1):

Investment 1: pays 5.3% interest and compounds continuously yields after 1 year:

Investment 2: pays 5.5% and compounds annually yields after 1 year:

(so Investment 2 is better - greatest effective annual rate)

Lesson 10 - 3.4#26 Effective annual rate , r' for growth rate of (1 + r') of different compounding periods: (b) corrected

Given: nominal rate = 4.2%.

(a) Effective annual rate is 4.2% when compounding is annual since, (1 + 0.042)1 = 1.042

(b) Effective annual rate is 4.28% when compounding is monthly since,

(c) Effective annual rate is 4.29% when compounding is continuously since,
