Population Growth by Doubling
Suppose a quantity y doubles every T units of
time. If is the initial amount, then the quantity y
after t units of time is given by
Example 3:
At , there are initially 20
bacteria. Suppose that the
bacteria doubles every 100
hours, give an exponential
model for the bacteria as a
function of
Exponential Decay by Half-life
If the half-life of a substance is T units, and is the
amount of the substance corresponding to , then
the amount y of substance remaining after t units
of time is given by
Example 4: Suppose that the half-
life of a certain radioactive
substance is 10 days and there
are 10g initially. Determine the
amount of substance remaining
after 30 days and give an
exponential model for the
amount of remaining
substance.
Compound Interest
If a principal P is invested at an annual rate of r,
compounded annually, then the amount after t
years is given by
Example 5: Mrs. Cruz invested P100,000.00 in a company
that offers 6% interest compounded annually. Define an
exponential model for this situation. How much will this
investment be worth at the end of each year for the next
five years?

You have a best friend, and she is also an 18-year old senior high school
student and asking for your advice as to which between the two “25th
birthday gift options” posted by her parents she should choose for her
25th birthday.
Option A: Her parents will give her ₱3,000.00 each year starting from her
19th
birthday until her 25th birthday.
Option B: Her parents will give her ₱400.00 on her 19th birthday, ₱800.00
