Exponential Growth and Decay Models

The mathematical model for exponential growth or decay is given by

f (t) = A0ekt or A = A0e

kt.

•If k > 0, the function models the amount or size of a growing entity. A0

is the original amount or size of the growing entity at time t = 0. A is the amount at time t, and k is a constant representing the growth rate.

•If k < 0, the function models the amount or size of a decaying entity. A0 is the original amount or size of the decaying entity at time t = 0. A is

the amount at time t, and k is a constant representing the decay rate.

The graph below shows the growth of the Mexico City metropolitan area

from 1970 through 2000. In 1970, the population of Mexico City was 9.4

million. By 1990, it had grown to 20.2 million.

a. We use the exponential growth model

A = A0ekt

in which t is the number of years since 1970. This means that 1970

corresponds to t = 0. At that time there were 9.4 million inhabitants, so we

substitute 9.4 for A0 in the growth model.

A = 9.4 ekt

We are given that there were 20.2 million inhabitants in 1990. Because

1990 is 20 years after 1970, when t = 20 the value of A is 20.2. Substituting

these numbers into the growth model will enable us to find k, the growth

rate. We know that k > 0 because the problem involves growth.

A = 9.4 ektUse the growth model with A0 = 9.4.

20.2 = 9.4 ek•20When t = 20, A = 20.2. Substitute these values.

Example cont

Page 6: Exponential and logarithmic functions - WordPress.com · Exponential and logarithmic functions. Modeling with Exponential and Logarithmic Functions . Exponential Growth and Decay

We substitute 0.038 for k in the growth model to obtain the exponential

growth function for Mexico City. It is A = 9.4 e0.038t where t is measured in

years since 1970.

Example cont

20.2/ 9.4 = ek•20Isolate the exponential factor by dividing both sides by 9.4.

ln(20.2/ 9.4) = lnek•20Take the natural logarithm on both sides.

0.038 = kDivide both sides by 20 and solve for k.

20.2/ 9.4 = 20kSimplify the right side by using ln ex = x.

Page 7: Exponential and logarithmic functions - WordPress.com · Exponential and logarithmic functions. Modeling with Exponential and Logarithmic Functions . Exponential Growth and Decay

b. To find the year in which the population will grow to 40 million, we

substitute 40 in for A in the model from part (a) and solve for t.

Because 38 is the number of years after 1970, the model indicates that the

population of Mexico City will reach 40 million by 2008 (1970 + 38).

A = 9.4 e0.038t This is the model from part (a).

40 = 9.4 e0.038t Substitute 40 for A.

Example cont

ln(40/9.4) = lne0.038t Take the natural logarithm on both sides.

ln(40/9.4)/0.038 =t Solve for t by dividing both sides by 0.038

ln(40/9.4) =0.038t Simplify the right side by using ln ex = x.

40/9.4 = e0.038t Divide both sides by 9.4.

•Use the fact that after 5715 years a given amount of carbon-14 will have

decayed to half the original amount to find the exponential decay model

for carbon-14.

•In 1947, earthenware jars containing what are known as the Dead Sea

Scrolls were found by an Arab Bedouin herdsman. Analysis indicated

that the scroll wrappings contained 76% of their original carbon-14.

Estimate the age of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Solution

We begin with the exponential decay model A = A0ekt. We know that k < 0

because the problem involves the decay of carbon-14. After 5715 years

(t = 5715), the amount of carbon-14 present, A, is half of the original

amount A0. Thus we can substitute A0/2 for A in the exponential decay

model. This will enable us to find k, the decay rate.

Text Example

Page 9: Exponential and logarithmic functions - WordPress.com · Exponential and logarithmic functions. Modeling with Exponential and Logarithmic Functions . Exponential Growth and Decay

Substituting for k in the decay model, the model for carbon-14 is

A = A0e–0.000121t.

k = ln(1/2)/5715=-0.000121Solve for k.

1/2= ekt5715Divide both sides of the equation by A0.

Solution

A0/2= A0ek5715After 5715 years, A = A0/2

ln(1/2) = ln ek5715Take the natural logarithm on both sides.

ln(1/2) = 5715kln ex = x.

Suppose you are a salaried employee, that is, you are paid afixed sum each pay period no matter how many hours youwork. Moreover, suppose your union contract guaranteesyou a 5% cost-of-living raise each year. Then your annual

salary is an increasing function of the number of years youhave been employed, because your annual salary will

increase by some amount each year. However, theamount of the increase is different from year to year,

because as your salary increases, the amount of your 5%raise increases too. This phenomenon is known as

compounding.

Example

Assume your starting salary is $28,000 per year. Let S(t) be your annual salaryafter full years of employment. Therefore, S(0) is interpreted to mean your

initial salary of $28,000. How can we evaluate S(1), your salary after 1 year ofemployment? Since your salary is increasing by 5% each year, this means

S(1) is 5% more than S(0). In other words, S(1) is 105% of S(0). Thus, we canevaluate S(1) as shown here, by changing the percentage 105% to a decimal

number:S(1) = 105% of S(0) = 1.05 × S(0) = 1.05 × 28000S(2) = 105% of S(1) = 1.05 × S(1) = 1.052 × 28000S(3) = 105% of S(2) = 1.05 × S(2) = 1.053 × 28000S(4) = 105% of S(3) = 1.05 × S(3) = 1.054 × 28000S(5) = 105% of S(4) = 1.05 × S(4) = 1.055 × 28000

Solution

The Dead Sea Scrolls are approximately 2268 years old plus the number of

years between 1947 and the current year.

A = A0e-0.000121t This is the decay model for carbon-14.

0.76A0 = A0e-0.000121t A = .76A0 since 76% of the initial amount remains.

0.76 = e-0.000121t Divide both sides of the equation by A0.

ln 0.76 = ln e-0.000121t Take the natural logarithm on both sides.

ln 0.76 = -0.000121t ln ex = x.
