Applied Calculus (MAT 121)Dr. Day Thursday March 8, 2012

Continuously Compounded Interest (5.3)Continuous Compounding compared to Periodic CompoundingSolving Problems: What’s the Unknown?

MAT 121Slide2

Exponential FunctionsBig IdeasWhat are Exponential Growth and Exponential Decay?What sort of applications use exponential functions as their mathematical models?

What algebra do we need to remember to work with exponential functions?How do we undo exponentiation? We need the inverse function, called the logarithm function.Where does calculus fit in to all of this?Thursday, March 8, 2012

MAT 121Slide3

Using Logarithms to Solve EquationsHalley's law states that the barometric pressure (in inches of mercury) at an altitude of x mi above sea level is modeled by the function

p(x) = 29.92e-0.2x   (x ≥ 0) If the barometric pressure as measured by a hot-air balloonist is 23.2 in. of mercury, what is the balloonist's altitude? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Compound InterestPeriodic CompoundingA: amount in accountP: amount of original deposit (principal)i: annual interest rate, expresses as a decimal value

n: number of compounding periods per yeart: number of years the principal remains in accountContinuous CompoundingA: amount in accountP: amount of original deposit (principal)r

: annual interest rate, expresses as a decimal valuet: number of years the principal remains in

account

MAT 121Slide5

Compound InterestSuppose $2500 is deposited in a savings account earning 1.25% annual interest compounded annually. Assuming no deposits or withdrawals, what will be the value of the account in 8 years?

What if the same the account used continuously compounded interest?Thursday, March 8, 2012MAT 121Slide6

Compound InterestAssume continuous compounding for the following problems.Calculate the amount accumulated after

3 years if $7800 is invested at 9% per year. How much of that is interest?Calculate the interest rate needed for an investment of $8,000 to grow to $10,000 in 10 years. Round to the nearest hundredth

of a percentage point.How long will it take for an investment of $7,000 to

double if the

investment earns interest at the rate of

3% per year?

Calculate the principal required in order to create an account with a value of $25000 after 3 years

at an interest rate of 12

% per year.
