Lesson 8.1
Without graphing, determine whether each equation represents exponential growth or exponential decay. What percent
of increase or decrease does the function model?
1. y = 10x
2. y = 0.5(1.67)x
3. y = 1.023(0.98)x
9 x
4. y = 2( 10
)
Write an exponential equation y = abx whose graph passes through the given points.
5. (1, 10), (2, 25)
6. (2, 128), (-1, 16)
7. (-2, 0.05), (2, 12.8)
What percent of increase or decrease does the function model?
8. y = 15(1.45)x
9. y = 0.32(.99)x
10. y = 0.1(1.7)x
11. y = 7.3(0.8)x
12. Mr. Anderson put $1000 into an account that earns 4.5% annual interest. The interest is compounded annually and there are
no withdrawals. How much money will be in the account at the end of 30 years?
13.
A manufacturer bought a new rolling press for $48,000. It has depreciated in value at an annual rate of 15%. What is the
value 5 years after purchase?
Lesson 8.2
Graph each function.
14. y = 3x
16. y = ( 14 )x
15. y = 2(4)x
Evaluate each expression to four decimal places.

18. e1/4
19.

20. e-1
21. You place $900 in an investment account that earns 6% interest compounded continuously. Find the balance after 5 years.
22. I-123 is used in thyroid scans. It has a half-life of 13.2 hours. Write the exponential decay function for a 45-mg sample.
Find the amount remaining after 5 hours.
Lesson 8.3
Write each equation in exponential form.
23. log4256 = 4
24. log8

25. log17289 = 2
26. log36561 = 8
Write each equation in logarithmic form.
27. 92 = 81
28. 10-3 = 0.001
29. 29 = 512
30. 6-3 =
Evaluate each logarithm.
31. log216
