Exponential Functions (includes growth and decay)

1

Evaluate the given function at the given value:

h(t)=3*4^t x=-4

3/64

2

Graph the exponential function f(x) = 2^x

3

Bobby bought a new truck for $50,000, and it decreases in value by 15% every two years. What will the truck cost after 10 years. 

y = 50,000 * .85^t

y = 50,000 * .85⁵

y = $22,185.27

4

Graph the exponential function g(x) = (1/2)^x

A new species of bears have been found. Right now there is 500 of them. They are doubling every quarter of a year. How many bears will there be in 4 years? 

y = 500 * 2^t

y = 500 * 2¹⁶

y = 32,768,000 Bears
