Graphing Exponetial Growth & Decay

Y= a×b x-h +K
A= multiplier
A>1= stretch
A<a<1= compression
A<0 (negative) = flipped over x- axis.
B= base has an exponential (always positive)
0>b<1= Decay (always decreasing)

Asymptote 
y=k   

 Domain
  (-∞, ∞) =all real numbers        
                            

 Range
y>k (a is pos)
 y<k (a is neg)



                            
                                                              
Exponential equations domain is always all real numbers.

Compound Interest Formula





P= Principle
R= Rate (as a decimal)
N= Number of time compounded

T= time (years) 

General forms of a Sequence

 Arithmetic & Geometric Sequences



Arithmetic formula: an= a1 (n + 1) d


Geometric formula: an= a1* r (n-1)


Example: -9, 3, -1, 1/3, 1/9    
This is a geometric sequence.
To find the term in a geometric sequence multiply or divide the previous term by “r”.

-9, 3, -1, 1/3, 1/9    r= -1/3  

5,   -10,   20,   -40    r= -2 
-10    20     -40
5      -10     20
