Write an exponential function f(x) based on the following table..

(0, 10), (1, 30)

f(x) = 10(3)x

100

What's the vertex of...

y = 2(x-4)2 + 6

(4,6)

100

Is the following function exponential or linear... why?

(0, 8), (1, 20), (2, 50)

The function is exponential because the function represents a pattern of repeated multiplication (x 3.5)

100

Find the zeroes: 4x2 + 32x - 80 = 0

4 (x + 10) (x - 2)

x = -10   x = 2

100

How many solutions does the following equation have?

x4 + 3x - 8 = -2x3 + 6x- 11

BIGGEST EXPONENT = X4

4 Solutions

In f(x) = 10(3)x, what does the 10 represent? What does the 3 represent?

The 10 represents the starting value.

The 3 represents the growth factor or how much the function is being multiplied by during each interval.

Given the function for height in feet, h(x) = -2x2 + 12x + 8.

What is the starting height of the function?

8 feet

Find the zeroes of: y = (x+ 7x + 12)(x - 2)

x = -4  x = -3   x = 2

300
Given the growth of leopards, l(x), represented in years, x, how many leopards will there be in 4 years?


l(x) = 12(2)x

x = 4

l(4) = 192 leopards

Describe the transformation of y = 3x2 + 2

1. Graph stretches / narrows vertically (k = 3)

2. Graphic shifts vertically 2 units up

300

How many Pringles does Chioma have after 5 hours? How many Pringles does Ah-Breanna have?

Chioma: 260 Pringles 

Ah-Breanna: 2,430 Pringles

Given the function for height in feet, h(x) = -2x2 + 12x + 8.

What is the maximum height of the function?

-b/2a = -12/-4 = 3 = x

y = -2(3)2 + 12(3) + 8 = -18 + 36 + 8 = 26

26 feet

300
Prove that y = x2 + 8x + 9 has 2 solutions 

a = 1 b = 8 c = 9

b2 - 4ac = 64 - 36 = 28

28 is positive, so 2 solutions

xWrite an exponential  function based on the inventory of books, b(x), if North Star started with 400 books and the amount is depreciating by 4 percent of books each day.

b(x) = 400 (0.96)x

400

Describe the transformation of f(x) = -3(x-4)2 + 5

1. - = reflected over x-axis

2. x3 = stretched/narrowed vertically 

3. -4 = Shifts 4 units horizontally to the right

5. + 5 = Shifts 5 units vertically up

Chioma claims both functions can be modeled by a linear equation. Is Chioma correct - why or why not?

Chioma = Linear (Pattern of Addition)

Ah-Breanna = Exponential (Pattern of Multiplication)

400

Find the domain and range of y = x2 + 8x + 9

Domain: All Real Numbers (no restrictions on x)

Range: Vertex = Max (a is positive)

-b/2a = -4 y = (-4)2 + 8(-4) + 9

Vertex = (-4, -7)

Maximum = -7

Range: Y is less than or equal to -7

500

Is this a growth or decay function? Why?

Decay because the b-value (growth factor) is less than 1. Depreciates means decreases or goes down.

500

Convert to Vertex Form By Completing the Square: 

y = x2 + 8x - 3

y = (x + 4)2 - 19


Vertex: (-4, -19)

Given the two points: (0, 12) and (2, 48)...


What is the value of y when x = 4 if the function is EXPONENTIAL?


What is the value of y when x = 4 if the function is LINEAR?

EXPONENTIAL 

a = 12 b = 2 

y = 12(2)x

x = 4

y = 12(2)4 = 12(16) = 192 

EXPONENTIAL: Y = 192


LINEAR : b = 12 

m = (48 - 12) / (2-0) = 36/2 = 18

y = mx + b      y = 18x + 12

x = 4   y = 18(4) + 12 = 72 + 12 = 84

LINEAR: Y = 84

f(x) = x2 + 3x + 8

Find f(x + 1)

f(x +1) = (x+1)2 + 3(x+1) + 8

= x2 + x + 1 + 3x + 3 + 8

= x2 + 4x + 12
