  1. 3.1 Exponential Functions and Their Graphs The exponential function f with base a is denoted by f(x) = ax and x is any real number.

  2. Graph y = 2x x y -2 -1 0 1 2 2-2 = 2-1 = 1 2 4

  3. y = 2-x x y -2 -1 0 1 2 4 2 1 ½ ¼

  4. y = 2x + 1 x y -2 -1 0 1 2 5/4 3/2 2 3 5 Graph shifted up one.

  5. y = 2x+1 x y -2 -1 0 1 2 ½ 1 2 4 8 -3 ¼ Graph shifted left one.

  8. Using the One-to-One Property Ex.

  9. Formulas for Compound Interest For n compoundings per year: yearly 1 monthly 12 semi-ann 2 daily 365 For continuous compounding:

  10. Ex. A total of $12,000 is invested at an annual percentage rate of 9%. Find the balance after 5 years if it is compounded a. quarterly b. continuously A = 12,000e.09(5) A = $18,819.75 A = $18,726.11
