, Why study exponential
functions?
Exponential functions are used in our rea
world to measure growth, interest, and
decay.
Growth obeys exponential functions.
Ex: rumors, human population, bacteria,
computer technology, compound interest
Decay obeys exponential functions.
Ex: Carbon-14 dating, half-life, Newton’s Law of
