WEEK 7: LESSON 1
PROBLEMS INVOLVING EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION

MELC: The learner solves problems involving exponential functions.

OBJECTIVES:

1. solves problems involving exponential functions


2. Appreciate the application of exponential functions in real-life
situations

A. PROBLEMS INVOLVING EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS

Example 1:

Suppose a culture of 300 bacteria at ARL Farm is put into a petri dish
and the culture doubles every 10 hours.

(b) How many bacteria will there be after 90 hours?

Exponential Model for Population Growth: y = y0 (rate of growth) t/T

Conditions:
300 bacteria at ARL Farm
doubles (2) every 10 hours

Solution:
y0 = 300 bacteria
rate of growth = 2 (doubles)
T = every 10 hours
t = 90 hours

y = y0 (rate of growth) t/T

y = 300 (2) 90/10


y = 300 (2) 9
y = 153 600

Conclusion: Therefore, there will be 153 600 bacteria after 90 hours.

Example 2:

A certain radioactive substance decays half of itself every 5 days.


Initially, there are 50 grams. Determine the amount of substance left after 30
days.

Exponential Model for Exponential Decay: y = yo (rate of decay) t/T

Conditions:
decays half (½) of itself every 5 days
Initially, there are 50 grams

Solutions:
y0 = 50 grams
rate of decay = ½ (decays half of itself)
T = every 5 days
t = 30 days

y = yo (rate of decay) t/T

y = 50 (½) 30/5
y = 50 (½) 6
y = 0.781

Conclusion: Therefore, there will be 0.781 grams of radioactive substance after


30 days.

Example 3:

Your mother deposits P10, 000.00 in a bank that pays 3% compound


interest annually. How much money will she have after 11 years without
withdrawal?

Exponential Model for Compound Interest: A = P (1 + r ) t.

Conditions:
deposits P10, 000.00 in a bank that pays 3% compound interest annually

Solution:
Principal amount = P10 000.00
interest = 3% or 0.03
time = 11 years

A = P (1 + r ) t.
2
A = 10,000 (1 + 0.03) 11

A = 10,000 (1.03) 11
A = 13,842.34

Conclusion: Therefore, after 11 years my mother will have P13,842.34.

Example 4:

The predicted population of a certain city is given by P = 200 000e (0.03y) where
y is the number of years after the year 2020. Predict the population for the
year 2030.

The natural exponential function is the function f(x) = ex

Conditions:
population of a certain city is given by P = 200 000e (0.03y) where y is the
number of years after the year 2020

Solution:
P = 200 000e (0.03y)
Time = 10years (20230-2020)

P = 200 000e (0.03x10)


P = 200 000e (0.3)
P = 269 971.76

Conclusion: Therefore, after 10 years the population is 269 972.

Answer: P = 200 000e (0.03x10)
