Exponential Functions and Their Inverses
Objectives• Evaluate a function at a given value.• Match an exponential function to its
graph.
Functions
• x is the independent variable.•Y is the dependent variable.•fred is the name of the function.
y f red(x) 3x 2
Evaluate.
y f red(x) 3x 2
y tax(d) .18d
y g(x) 3x 2 2x
f red(4)
tax(50)
g()
Basic Natural Exponential Function
• a is the initial amount (f(0))•e is a number that is approximately 2.71828 (it is on your calculator)

Basic Natural Exponential Function
• a is the initial amount (f(0))
• k > 0, function strictly increases
• k < 0, function strictly decreasing
y f (t) aekt
Graph each of the following functions.
h(t) 14
e3t
g(t) 4e3t

Inverse of the Natural Exponential Function
t 1k
ln ya
y aekt
Where a, k, and t come from the natural exponential function.
Write the inverse of the exponential function
g(t) 4e3t
Write the inverse of the exponential function
h(t) 14
e 7t
The number of bacteria in a culture is given by the function
where t in measured in hours.
n(t) 900e0.1t
How many bacteria will the culture contain in 5 hours?
