Tech Math: Exponential Equations & Log Functions

 

** 

Relevant Material: "Exponential equations and logarithmic functions are used to model phenomena like population growth, compound interest, and radioactive decay, while logarithms are crucial for measuring scales such as sound intensity, earthquake magnitude, and pH levels. These functions allow for the analysis of processes that change over a wide range of values or at a rapid rate. 
Applications of exponential functions 
  • Population growth: Modeling how populations increase or decrease over time, whether for humans, animals, or even cancer cells.
  • Compound interest: Calculating the growth of investments and loans based on principal amount, interest rate, and time.
  • Radioactive decay: Modeling the half-life of radioactive isotopes to determine the age of fossils or the rate at which a substance decays. Growth and decay in other fields: Analyzing the amount of medicine in the bloodstream, the spread of diseases, or the cooling of a liquid.
 Measuring intensity: Converting very large or small values into a more manageable scale..." (Google)
