Exponential Growth

Tofer's Lecture on Exponential Growth

What you need to be able to do after this class:  (1)  sketch exponential growth functions using translations and intercepts (f(x) = a*b^(x-h)+k; (2) explain the end behavior of an exponential function; (3)  evaluate an exponential function for a given value; (4) Use formulas for simple and compound interest.

Necessary Vocabulary:  base, exponent, exponential growth, asymptote, translation, end behavior, simple interest, compound interest, compounded annually, compounded monthly.
