Exponential Functions
Consider the growth of y of a certain type of bacteria
in x minutes as shown in the table values below:
x 0 1 2 3 4 5
y 1 2 4 8 16 32
x 0 1 2 3 4 5
y 1 2 4 8 16 32

𝟓 ∙ 𝟓 = 𝟓 Power rule
−𝟔 𝒙 +𝟔+𝟒 𝒙 𝟑
𝟓 = 𝟓 Product rule

3-6 Combine like terms
Dividing both sides by -2
Example 3: Solve = 64.
Solution:
−𝒏 − 𝟐 𝒏 𝟑 Express both sides of the equation in
𝟒 ∙ 𝟒
−𝒏 − 𝟐+𝒏
= 𝟒𝟑
exponential form using the same base.
