Ch. 6 Test Flashcards
Domain and Range of exponential functions
The domain will always be (-∞,∞)
The range will be (asymptote, ∞)
The asymptote of an exponential function
Usually, y=0 unless there is a transformation on the outside of the x
then the asymptote will be that number
Compound interest growth formula
A= p(1+r/n)^nt
What does r stand for
Rate (percent)
When the rate is inside parentheses, move decimal over 2
What does n stand for
Times per yer
What does t stand for
Amount of years
Compound interest decay formula
A= p(1-percent decrease with decimal moved)^t
Continuous compound interest formula
A= P(e)^r(move decimal)t
When an exponential graph has a shift up or down, what changes?
The asymptote
When simplifying an expression, the answer will always be x unless there is a…
1 or zero
When simplifying an expression, the answer will always be x unless it is an…
e function with a number in front of the base, then it will be 1
How to find the inverse of exponential functions
Switch x and y
convert to log form
How to find the inverse of log functions
switch x and y
convert to exponential form
How to find the inverse of the ln form
Switch x and y
Convert to e form using e^x=ln
get y by itself
How to find the inverse of e form
switch x and y
Convert to ln form using e= lnx
get rid of the x and make ln x equal the power
get y by itself
