Lesson 6.4 - Exponential Functions

This document provides lesson materials for a two-day lesson on exponential functions. Day 1 focuses on identifying characteristics of exponential functions and differentiating between linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. Day 2 involves graphing exponential functions, writing exponential functions based on graphs or tables, and solving application problems involving exponential growth. Students are asked to solve problems about an amoeba population doubling every half hour and a king placing coins on a chessboard according to an exponential pattern. Homework problems from the textbook are assigned.

Homework: # 1-3, 11-17(odd), 30, 36, 38, 40-42, 43-46 on p. 289-291 in


your textbook.

2x, 2x, x2 look similar since they all


have the number 2 and the variable
x, but they have very different
meanings. Looking at tables and
graphs for these expressions will help
you understand just how different
they are.

Complete the table below to compare the the expressions.


x

2x
2x
x2

As x increases from 0 to 5, which expressions values


increase most quickly?

Use your table from above to plot the points for each set of
ordered pairs, (x,2x), (x, 2x ) and (x, x2), on one set of
axes.
Use a different color for each set of points to help you
identify which is which. How are the graphs similar? How
are they different?

An Example..
Many single-celled organisms reproduce by dividing into two
identical cells. Suppose an amoeba divides into two amoebas
every half hour.
a. A biologist starts an experiment with one amoeba. Make a
table showing the number of amoebas she would have at
the end of each hour over an 8-hour period.
b. Write an equation for the number of amoebas, a after t
hours.
c. How many hours will it take for the number of amoebas
to reach 1 million?
d. Make a graph of the (time, amoebas) data from part a.

IDENTIFY AND
REASON OUT.

Summarize

When you are graphing, make sure you include the following
Values for x = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 and 3

REQUESTING A REWARD THE STORY


One day in the ancient kingdom of Montarek, a peasant saved the life of
the kings daughter.. The king was so grateful that he told the peasant
she could have ant reward she desired. The peasant-who was also the
kingdoms chess champion-made an unusual request.
I would like you to place one ruba on the first square of a chessboard,
2 rubas on the second square, 4 on the third, 8 on the fourth square and
so on, until you have covered all 64 squares. Each square should have
twice as many rubas as the previous square.
The king replied, Rubas are the least valuable coin in the kingdom.
Surely you can think of a better reward. But the peasant insisted, so
the king agreed to her request.

REQUESTING A REWARD ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS.

A. Make table showing the number of rubas the king will place on
squares1 through 10 of the chessboard.
B. How does the number of rubas change from one square to the next?
C. How many rubas will be on square 20? On square 30? On square 64?
D. What is the first square in which the king will place at least
1 million rubas?
E. If a Montarek ruba is equivalent o a U.S. penny, what would the dollar
value of the rubas on squares 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 be?
F. Graph the (number of squares, number of rubas) data for squares 1 to
10. As the number of square increases, how does the number of rubas
change? What does this pattern of change tell you about the peasants
reward?
G. Write an equation for the relationship between the number of square
n, and the number of rubas, r.
