Study Notes
Common Ratios and Sequences
- The common ratio of the sequence -2, 6, -18, 54... is -3.
- For a recursive formula for savings account balances increasing by 5% monthly, the common ratio is 1.05.
Exponential Functions
- The initial value of the exponential function can vary: one example shows an initial value of 4, while another shows an initial value of 2.
- A reflection across the y-axis for the function f(x) = (1/2)(3^x) results in g(x) = (1/2)(3^(-x)).
- The function f(x) = (1/3)(6^x) reflects across the x-axis as g(x) by taking the negatives of the outputs.
Graphs and Their Properties
- The reflected function f(x) = (2/3)(6^x) across the x-axis has a range of all real numbers less than or equal to 0.
- A stretch of an exponential decay function is represented by f(x) = (5/4)(4/5)^x, indicating a growth in the decay rate.
- g(x) = -5(0.8^x) represents a reflection of the exponential growth function f(x) = 5(0.8^x) across the x-axis.
Formulas and Representation
- A sequence defined as 1.2, 3, 7.5, 18.75... can be described by the formula f(x) = 1.2(2.5)^(x-1).
- The initial value of the sequence represented by the function f(x) = (3)(2^x-1) has specific graph coordinates that can be identified (e.g., (1, 3), (2, 6)).
- A common ratio for a beach eroding at a rate of 1.1% per year is calculated as 0.989.
Recursive and Explicit Formulas
- The recursive formula f(x+1) = 4f(x) with a second term of 12 leads to the explicit formula f(x) = 3(4)^(x-1).
- Reflecting the function f(x) = (1/6)(2/5)^x across the y-axis yields ordered pairs such as (-3, 4/375).
General Characteristics of Functions
- The range of the function f(x) = (1/7)(9^x) encompasses all real numbers greater than 0.
- The function f(x) = 3(1/3)^x depicts exponential decay and represents a stretch of the function f(x) = (1/3)^x, illustrating decreasing values over time.
