By the end of this chapter, you will
graph an exponential relation, given its equation in
the form y = a x (a > 0, a 1), define this relation
as the function f (x) = a x, and explain why it is a
function

sketch graphs of y = af [k(x d )] + c by applying one


or more transformations to the graph of
f (x) = a x (a > 0, a 1), and state the domain and
range of the transformed functions

determine the value of a power with a rational


exponent

determine that the equation of a given exponential


function can be expressed using different bases

simplify algebraic expressions containing integer


and rational exponents and evaluate numerical
expressions containing integer and rational
exponents and rational bases

represent an exponential function with an equation,


given its graph or its properties

determine and describe key properties relating to


domain and range, intercepts, increasing/decreasing
intervals, and asymptotes for exponential functions
represented in a variety of ways
distinguish exponential functions from linear and
quadratic functions by making comparisons in a
variety of ways
determine and describe the roles of the parameters
a, k, d, and c in functions of the form
y = af [k(x d )] + c in terms of transformations on
the graph of f (x) = a x (a > 0, a 1)

collect data that can be modelled as an exponential


function, from primary sources, using a variety of
tools, or from secondary sources, and graph the data
identify exponential functions, including those that
arise from real-world applications involving growth
and decay, given various representations, and explain
any restrictions that the context places on the
domain and range
solve problems using given graphs or equations
of exponential functions arising from a variety of
real-world applications by interpreting the graphs
or by substituting values for the exponent into the
equations

3.2 Exponential Decay: Connecting to Negative Exponents MHR 161

exponential decay
u a pattern of decay in
which each term is
multiplied by a constant
fraction between zero
and one to produce the
next term
u produces a graph
that decreases at a
constantly decreasing

0.5n

0.03125

Mathematical Reasoning
Try 5 half-lives. This gives a value much lower than 0.1. Try a
shorter period of time.

0.25

Too high. The correct value is between 2 and 5. Try 3 next.

0.125

Close, but high.

3.3

0.1015

This is very close to 0.1. This will give a reasonable approximation.

The square-cube law is important
in many areas of science. It can
be used to explain why elephants
have a maximum size and why giant
insects cannot possibly exist, except
in science fiction! Why do you think
this is so?
Go to the Functions 11 page on the
McGraw-Hill Ryerson Web site and follow the links to
Chapter 3 to find out more about the square-cube law
and its impact on humans and other creatures.

In Section 3.3, you
saw how to deal with
rational exponents.
The definition of
an exponent can be
extended to include
real numbers, and
so the domain of a
function like f (x) = 2x
is all real numbers. Try
to evaluate 2 using a
calculator.

Tip

u To perform a
regression, press 
STAT , cursor over
to CALC, select the
desired type of
regression, and enter
the appropriate data
lists.
u To store the function,
press  VARS , select
Y-VARS, and select
the desired function
location.
u Remember to use
commas to separate
data lists and
function variables.

Co nne ct io ns
You may see values
of r and/or r2 after
performing a regression.
These values are
related to how well
a regression line or
curve fits the data. The
closer r is to 1 or 1,
and the closer r2 is to
1, the better the fit.
To enable the viewing
of these parameters,
STAT 0
press 2nd
for [CATALOG] and then
scroll down and select
Diagnostics On. You
will learn more about
these parameters if
you take Mathematics
of Data Management in
grade 12.

Chapter 3 Practice Test MHR 213

Task

Radioactive Isotopes

Radioactive isotopes are used in nuclear medicine to allow physicians


to explore bodily structures in patients. Very small quantities of these
isotopes, such as iodine-131 (I-131; half-life 8.065 days), are injected into
patients. The isotopes are traced through the body so a medical diagnosis
can be made. These elements have a very short half-life, so the label on the
bottle will state the radioactivity of the element (the amount of the element
that remains) at a particular moment in time.
a) A bottle of I-131 is delivered to a hospital on September 5. It states on

the label that the radioactivity at 12:00 p.m. on September 10 will be


380 megabecquerels (MBq).
i) Write a defining equation for the relationship between the amount of

radioactivity and the time since the bottle was delivered.


ii) What is the radioactive activity at

12:00 p.m. on the delivery day?


6:00 a.m. on September 25?
iii) Sketch the graph of this relationship.
b) Effective half-life is the time required for a radioactive isotope contained

in a body to reduce its radioactivity by half, due to a combination of


radioactive decay and the natural elimination of the isotope from the
body. In patients with Graves disease, the effective half-life of
I-131 is 62.5% of the normal half-life. In patients with a disease called
toxic nodular goitre, the effective half-life is 75% of the normal
half-life. Compare these results to the standard rate of decay for I-131
numerically, graphically, and algebraically.
c) Research one of the topics below and write a short report on your

findings.
other radioactive isotopes that are used in medical diagnoses or
treatments
diseases that can be treated with radioactive isotopes
the production and transport of radioactive isotopes
the training required for medical personnel to use radioactive isotopes
