Study Notes
Exponential and Logarithmic Equations in Real-World Applications
- The depreciation of a vehicle can be modeled with the equation (y = A(1 - r)^t), used to calculate the current value based on purchase price, depreciation rate, and time.
- An example case: A car purchased for $25,000 with an annual depreciation rate of 11% after 6 years.
pH and Hydrogen Ion Concentration
- pH is determined by the formula (pH = -\log[H^+]), where ([H^+]) denotes the concentration of hydrogen ions.
- A solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of (2 \times 10^{-9}) has an approximate pH of 8.7.
- The difference in hydrogen ion concentration between basic (pH 11.2) and acidic solutions (pH 2.4) can be quantified, revealing a concentration difference of (4.0 \times 10^{-3}).
Exponential Decay and Half-Life
- The remaining quantity of a substance can be calculated using (P(t) = A(1/2)^{t/h}), where (h) represents the half-life.
- In a Fermium-257 sample retaining 60% of its original amount with a 100-day half-life, the age of the sample cannot be concluded to be 60 days.
Population Growth and Carrying Capacity
- Population growth in a defined environment follows an exponential trend, with a maximum carrying capacity of 600 organisms.
- Analyzing population increases over time helps determine when the environment will no longer sustain the growth.
Compound Interest and Growth Over Time
- Compound interest is modeled with the formula (V(t) = P(1 + r/n)^{nt}), where variables include principal amount, interest rate, and compounding frequency.
- Example: A deposit of $1,900 growing to $3,875.79 at 4% interest compounded semiannually suggests a duration of approximately 18 years.
- For a deposit of $6,000 at an annual interest rate of 1.5% compounded monthly, the total after 4 years amounts to $6,370.78.
Earthquake Magnitudes and Intensity
- Magnitude of earthquakes is expressed through logarithmic intensity comparisons using (M = \log(i/i_0)).
- The intensity factor between two earthquakes, one with a magnitude of 8.6 and another of 8.2, indicates the first earthquake was approximately 2.51 times more intense.
Modeling Hydrogen Ion Concentration from pH
- The hydrogen ion concentration ([H^+]) can be derived from pH values, such as pH 7.2 yielding ([H^+] = 10^{-7.2}).
Radioactive Decay Calculation
- In radioactive decay, the quantity remaining after a set period is calculated similarly to other exponential decay processes.
- For a 10-mg sample with a half-life of 8 days, only 2.5 mg remains after 16 days.
