In a standard bank account, any interest we earn is automatically added to our balance, and we earn interest on that interest in future years. This reinvestment of interest is called compounding.

Exponential growth and decay show up in a host of natural applications. From population growth and continuously compounded interest to radioactive decay and Newton’s law of cooling, exponential functions are ubiquitous in nature. In this section, we examine exponential growth and decay in the context of some of these applications.

If an amount P is invested for t years at an interest rate r per year, compounded n times a year, then the future value is given by A=P(1+rn)nt P is called the principal and is also called the present value.

Find the amount P that needs to be invested at 4.275% compounded annually for 5 years to give a final amount of $3000. (This amount P is also called the present value of the future amount of $3000 in 5 years.)

In the examples that follow, note that while the applications are drawn from many different disciplines, the mathematics remains essentially the same. Due to the applied nature of the problems we will examine in this section, the calculator is often used to express our answers as decimal approximations.

It explains how to identify exponential growth and decay, interpret graphs, and analyze their behavior. Examples demonstrate how to evaluate and use exponential functions in various contexts, such as modeling population growth or radioactive decay.

To a mathematician, however, the term exponential growth has a very specific meaning. In this section, we will take a look at exponential functions, which model this kind of rapid growth.

We consider applications to radioactive decay, carbon dating, and compound interest. We also consider more complicated problems where the rate of change of a quantity is in part proportional to the magnitude of the quantity, but is also influenced by other other factors for example, a radioactive susbstance is manufactured at a certain rate, but decays at a rate proportional
