Exponential Function

The document discusses exponential functions and how to solve problems involving exponential equations. Some key points: - Exponential functions have a constant growth factor, meaning the variable is multiplied by a fixed amount for each fixed change in the independent variable. - To solve exponential equations, take the logarithm of both sides to transform exponents into multiplication or division. - Examples show how to model population growth, radioactive decay, compound interest, and predict values in exponential functions.

EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS
 A function is called exponential
function if it has a constant
growth factor.
 This means that for a fixed
change in , gets multiplied by a
fixed amount.

reaching maturity divides itself into
two after every hour. How many cells
of the virus will be present after 1 day
if it started just one cell?
