Introduction

This section will explore some of the ways exponential functions are used to model and solve problems with business and scientific applications.

Let's start by looking at exponential growth and exponential decay. You'll do this using Geogebra: Graphing Exponential Functions.

Lesson Objectives

Following successful completion of this lesson, students will be able to...

  • Use exponential growth functions to solve problems
  • Use exponential decay functions to solve problems

The above objectives correspond with the Alabama Course of Study: Precalculus standards: 18d.
