Transcendental Functions

This guide explores the concepts of exponential and logarithmic functions, focusing on growth rates such as y = 2^x and y = (1/2)^x. It explains the natural exponential function, y = e^x, and provides the continuous compounding interest formula. Using a practical example, we calculate how much Johnny's $5000 investment at a 5.2% interest rate, compounded quarterly, will grow over 10 years. Equipped with the compound interest formula, you’ll understand how to determine the final amount in any investment scenario.

  1. Transcendental Functions Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

  2. y = ax Growth Rate

  3. y = 2x y = 4x “Parent” y = (1/2)x y =2-x

  4. Translations

  5. Natural Exponential Function y = ex Growth Rate

  6. Continuous Compounding Interest Formula Use this formula whenever the growth in “compounding continuously”.

  7. Johnny invested $5000 in an account earning 5.2% interest compounded quarterly. If left untouched, how much will be in the account in 10 years?

  8. Compound Interest Formula Time in years Final amount Beginning amount Interest Rate # of Times a year compounded
