How do you find out how much time it will take the money in your
bank account to double?
For example:If you have $100 in the bank, how long until you earn $100 interest?
In this lesson you will learn how to create and solve exponential equations
by using a table of values
Let’s Review
40% growth 40% growth
Example: You start with 25 dots, and the number of dots increase by 40% in every step.
Let’s Review
y = a(1+r)x
y = 25(1+.4)x
y = 25(1.4)x
40% growth 40% growth
A Common Mistake
Growth Factor > 1 (example 1.4)
0 < Decay Factor < 1 (example 0.4)

Your bank account has grown according to the data shown in the table. Write an equation and find out how long your account will
take to reach a balance of $600?
Core Lesson y = a(1+r)x
y = (400)*(1+r)xy = (400)*1.06x
VERIFY: what does my answer mean? does this make sense?
x ≈ 7 years
600 = (400)*1.06x

When you buy a new car, its value quickly “depreciates”, or, loses
value according to the data seen here. Approximately how long will it take for your car’s value to fall
to $13000?
Guided Practice y = a(1+r)x
y = (25000)*(1+r)xy = (25000)*.85x
VERIFY: what does my answer mean? does this make sense?
x ≈ 4 years
13000 = (25000)*.85x

Extension Activities
a. Investigate the interest rates of a few different bank accounts and evaluate which is a better account for your money. Don’t forget to look for monthly vs. annually compounding interests!
b. Explore the math function called “logarithm”, and investigate how the “logarithm” can help you solve exponentials.
Quick Quiz
1. Your bank account is compounded 6% annually (every year). If you put $500 to start, in how many years will your bank account reach $1000?
2. Polar bear populations have been on the decline recently. If the population is decreasing at a rate of 13% each year, how long will it take an original population of 7000 to reach 4000?
