5 Honors Advanced Algebra Name: S8.1 Graphing Exponential Functions Date: Notes Period: Target Goals: Graph exponential growth functions. Graph exponential decay functions. A function like f ( x)= b x, where the base is a constant and the exponent contains the independent variable, is an exponential function. Examples: 4 x, 10 2 x 3, and 1000e 0.08t GRAPHING FUNDAMENTAL EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS The graph of the fundamental exponential function f ( x)= b x is continuous and asymptotic in one extreme of the domain. When b > 1, the function is increasing and known as an exponential growth function. The function f ( x)= b x contains key points ( 0,1), 1,b hand. ( ), and 1, 1 b Graph the exponential growth function using three points. which are plotted to assist graphing the function by Ex 1. y = 2 x Ex 2. f ( x)= 4 x x y x y When b < 1, the function is decreasing and known as an exponential decay function. Graph the exponential decay function using three points. Ex 3. y = 1 3 x Ex 4. f ( x )= 4 5 x x y x y
6 Ex 5. Which of the following is the graph of y = 2 x 4? Ex 6. Which of the following is the graph of 2 y = 4 x + 3? Assignment #1: Worksheet #1
7 Honors Advanced Algebra Name: S8.2 Solving Exponential Equations Date: Notes Period: WarmUp: Rewrite each number as a power with the smallest base possible. Negative exponents are acceptable Target Goal: Solve exponential equations. In an exponential equation, variables occur as exponents. PROPERTY OF EQUALITY FOR EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS Let b > 0 and b 1. b x = b y if and only if x = y. Example: If 3 x = 3 5, then x = 5. If x = 5, then 3 x = 3 5. The Equality Property can be used to solve exponential equations if the exponential expressions can be written with the same (common) base. Solve the exponential equation using the Equality Property. Ex 1. 3 x = 9 4 Ex x = 4 2 x 1 Ex x 3 = 1 25
8 COMPOUND INTEREST You can calculate compound interest using the exponential function: A = P 1+ r n nt where A is the amount in the account after t years, P is the principal amount invested, r is the annual interest rate, and n is the number of compounding periods each year. Solve the compound interest problem. Ex 4. An investment account pays 4.2% annual interest compounded monthly. If $2500 is invested in this account, what will the balance be after 15 years? You try it! x 6 = 8 x 2. 8 x+5 = 16 2 x x = A money market account yields 1.8% annual interest compounded quarterly. If $4500 is invested, what will the balance be after 5 years? Assignment #2: page 488 #1-4, 6, 9-14, 20-22, 33-35
9 Honors Advanced Algebra Name: S8.3 Logarithms and Logarithmic Functions Date: Notes Period: WarmUp: Solve x = 8 x x = Target Goal: Evaluate logarithmic expressions. In the equation x = b y, the variable y is called the logarithm of x. This is usually written as y = log b x, which is read y equals log base b of x. LOGARITHM WITH BASE b Let b and x be positive numbers, b 1. The logarithm of x with base b is denoted log b x and is defined as the exponent y that makes the equation b y = x true. For x > 0, there is a number y such that Example: If log 3 27 = y, then 3 y = 27. log b x = y if and only if b y = x (logarithmic form) (exponential form) It is often helpful to rewrite a logarithmic equation into exponential form or an exponential equation into logarithmic form. Write the equation in exponential form. Ex 1. log 3 9 = 2 Ex 2. log = 2 Write the equation in logarithmic form. 1 Ex = 125 Ex = 3
10 Evaluate. Ex 5. log Ex 6. log Ex 7. log Solve for x. Ex 8. 1 log x = 3 Ex 9. log 4( x 3) = 2 Ex 7. log2 8 = 4x You try it! 3 1. Write log = 3 in exponential form. 2. Write 4 2 = 8 in logarithmic form Evaluate log Solve. log 3(2x 5) = 3 Assignment #3: Worksheet #3
11 Honors Advanced Algebra Name: S8.4 Solving Logarithmic Equations Date: Notes Period: WarmUp: 1. Rewrite in exponential form. 2. Rewrite in logarithmic form. 3. Evaluate. log 25 5 = = 1 16 log 3 81 Target Goal: Solve logarithmic equations. A logarithmic equation contains one or more logarithms. One way to solve a logarithmic equation involves rewriting the equation into exponential form. Solve the logarithmic equation. Ex 1. log 8 x = 4 3 Ex 2. log 16 x = 5 2 Ex 3. log x 8 = 3 2 Ex 4. log = x PROPERTY OF EQUALITY FOR LOGARITHMIC FUNCTIONS Let b > 0 and b 1. log b x = log b y if and only if x = y. Example: If log 5 x = log 5 8, then x = 8. If x = 8, then log 5 x = log 5 8. The Equality Property can be used to solve logarithmic equations if the logarithmic expressions have the same (common) base.
12 Solve the logarithmic equation using the Equality Property. Ex 5. log 9 2x = log 9 ( 24 x) Ex 6. log 5 x 2 = log 5 x + 6 ( ) Ex 7. log 2 ( x 2 + 6x)= log 2 x 4 ( ) You try it! 1. log 5 x = 2 2. log 3 2a = 2 3. log 2 x 16 = 2 4. log 9 ( 5x 1)= log 9 ( 3x + 7) 5. log 6 ( x 3)= log 6 ( 2x) Assignment #4: page 504 #1-3, 8-19
13 Honors Advanced Algebra Name: S8.5 Properties of Logarithms Date: Notes Period: WarmUp: Solve. 1. log 5 x = 3 2. log 7 x + 2 ( )= log 7 4x Target Goals: Simplify and evaluate expressions using the properties of logarithms. Solve logarithmic equations using the properties of logarithms. Since logarithms are exponents, the properties of logarithms can be derived from the properties of exponents. PRODUCT PROPERTY OF LOGARITHMS The logarithm of a product is the sum of the logarithms of its factors. For all positive numbers a, b, and n, where n 1, log n ab = log n a + log n b ( )( 6) Example: log 2 5 = log log 2 6 You can use the Product Property to solve some logarithmic equations. Solve the logarithmic equation using the Product Property. Ex 1. log 4 x = log log 4 5 Ex 2. log 5 ( y 4)+ log 5 ( y + 4)= log 5 84 Ex 3. log 10 x + log 10 ( x + 9)= 1 QUOTIENT PROPERTY OF LOGARITHMS The logarithm of a quotient is the difference of the logarithms of the numerator and denominator. For all positive numbers a, b, and n, where n 1, log n a b = log n a log n b Example: log = log 2 5 log 2 6
14 You can use the Quotient Property to solve some logarithmic equations. Solve the logarithmic equation using the Quotient Property. Ex 4. log 8 x log 8 3 = log 8 5 Ex 5. log 3 4 = log 3 6 log 3 x POWER PROPERTY OF LOGARITHMS The logarithm of a power is the product of the logarithm and the exponent. For any real number p, and positive numbers m and b, where b 1, log b m p = plog b m Example: log = 5log 2 6 You can use the Power Property to solve some logarithmic equations. Solve the logarithmic equation using the Power Property. Ex 6. 2log 4 x = log 4 9 Ex 7. 4 log 7 x = log You try it! 1. log log 10 ( n 2)= log 10 6n 2. 3log 7 x = log log 10 ( m + 3) log 10 m = log log 9 x = 1 2 log log 9 8 Assignment #5: page 512 #8-11, 23-26, odd
15 Honors Advanced Algebra Name: S8.6 Common Logarithms Date: Notes Period: WarmUp: Solve. 1. log 12 x 2 ( )+ log 12 x + 3 ( )= log log 5 2 log 5 x = log 5 4 Target Goals: Solve exponential equations using common logarithms. Evaluate logarithmic expressions using the change of base formula. Base 10 logarithms are called common logarithms. Common logarithms are usually written without the subscript 10. log x = log 10 x, x > 0 If both sides of an exponential equation cannot easily be written as powers of the same (common) base, one can solve the equation by taking the logarithm of each side. Solve the exponential equation using logarithms. Ex 1. 5 x = 62 Ex 2. 7 x = 20 Ex 3. 3 x+1 = 2 3x Ex 4. 3 x 4 = 5 x 1
16 CHANGE OF BASE FORMULA For all positive numbers a, b, and n, where a 1 and b 1, log a n = log b n log b a Example: log 3 11 = log log 10 3 = log11 log 3 The change of base formula makes it possible to evaluate a logarithmic expression of any base by rewriting the expression into one that involves common logarithms. Evaluate using the change of base formula. Ex 5. log 4 23 Ex 6. log You try it! x2 = y+1 = 32 2 y 3. log log Assignment #6: Worksheet #6
17 Honors Advanced Algebra Name: S8.7 Base e and Natural Logarithms Date: Notes Period: WarmUp: 1. Solve 3 x = Evaluate log 6 83 Target Goals: Evaluate expressions involving the natural base and natural logarithm. Solve exponential equations using natural logarithms. Like π and 2, the number e is an irrational number. The value is It is referred to as the natural base, e. An exponential function with base e is called a natural base exponential function. NATURAL BASE FUNCTIONS The function f ( x)= e x is used to model continuous exponential growth. The function f ( x)= e x is used to model continuous exponential decay. The inverse of a natural base exponential function is called the natural logarithm. This logarithm can be written as log e x, but is more often abbreviated as ln x. You can write a natural base exponential equation for a natural logarithmic equation: ln 4 = x log e 4 = x e x = 4 Write the natural logarithmic equation in exponential form. Ex 1. ln x = Ex 2. ln25 = x Write the natural base exponential equation in logarithmic form. Ex 3. e x = 23 Ex 4. e 4 = x
18 Equations involving base e are easier to solve using natural logarithms rather than common logarithms. Solve. Round to the nearest ten-thousandth (4 decimal places). Ex 5. 3e 2 x + 4 = 10 Ex 6. 5e 3x 2 = 6 Solve. Round to the nearest ten-thousandth (4 decimal places). Ex 7. 2 ln 5x = 6 Ex 8. 4 ln 3x = 11 CONTINUOUSLY COMPOUNDED INTEREST You can calculate continuously compounded interest using the natural base exponential function: A = Pe rt where A is the amount in the account after t years, P is the principal amount invested, and r is the annual interest rate. Solve the continuously compounded interest problem. Ex 9. An investment account pays 4.2% annual interest compounded continuously. a. If $2500 is invested in this account, what will the balance be after 15 years? b. How long will it take for any investment to double in value? Assignment #7: page 529 #1-4, 9-14, odd, odd, 47, 53, 55
