Study Notes

Exponential Equations

Exponential functions are defined as f(x) = b^x, where b > 0 and b ≠ 1.
For exponential growth (b > 1), the function increases, while for decay (0 < b < 1), the function decreases.
Example of growth: f(x) = 2^x with points like (0,1), (1,2), (2,4).
Example of decay: f(x) = (1/2)^x with points like (0,1), (1,0.5), (2,0.25).

Simple Interest

Formula for simple interest: I = P * r * t.
- P = principal amount
- r = annual interest rate
- t = time in years.
Example: Borrowing 4000at34000 at 3% for 9 months results in 4000at390 interest.
Time conversion:
- 3 months = 0.25 years
- 4 months = 0.333 years
- 6 months = 0.5 years
- 8 months = 0.667 years
- 9 months = 0.75 years.

Compound Interest

Formula: A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where:
- A = amount after time t
- P = initial principal
- r = annual interest rate
- n = number of times interest applied per time period
- t = time the money is invested or borrowed.
Interest can be compounded annually, semiannually, quarterly, monthly, or daily.
Continuous compounding formula: A = Pe^(rt).

Doubling Time

To find the time for an investment to double, use the rule of 72: approximately 72 divided by the interest rate.
For tripling, apply similar strategies based on growth rates and formula adjustments.

Matrices

A matrix is defined by its size (m × n) and can represent systems of equations.
Basic types include square, row, and column matrices.
Operations include addition, subtraction (A + B, A - B), scalar multiplication, and matrix multiplication (AB).
Matrix addition requires matrices of the same size, while multiplication is not commutative (AB ≠ BA).
Augmented matrices represent systems of linear equations, with rows indicating coefficients of variables and constants.

Properties of Exponential Functions

The domain includes all real numbers, while the range consists of positive real numbers.
The graph is continuous with no x-intercepts and only one y-intercept at (0,1).
The increasing or decreasing behavior is determined by the base b.
