LESSON TITLE: Solving and Graphing Exponential Function

 Exponential Function: The exponential form is an easier way of writing repeated

multiplication involving base and exponents. For example, we can write 5 ⋅5 ⋅5 ⋅5as 54 in
the exponential form, where 5 is the base and 4 is the power.

Definition and Theorems

 Definition: Let a ≠ 0

 Theorems: Let r and s be rational numbers. Then,

 a r as = a r+ s
r

 s = a
r−s

 (a ¿¿ r) s ¿ = a r s
 (ab)r =a r ar

Properties of Exponential Inequalities

 If b > 1, then the exponential function y = bx is increasing for all x. This means that bx
< by if and only if x < y.

 If 0 < b < 1, then the exponential function y = bx is decreasing for all x. This means
that bx > by if and only if x < y.

LESSON TITLE: Logarithmic Function

 Logarithmic Function: Let a and b be positive real numbers such that b≠ 1. The
logarithm of a with log b a = a. That base b, denoted by log b, is defined as the number such
that b is, log b a is the exponent that b must be raised to produce a.
 Exponential Function: The exponential form is an easier way of writing repeated
multiplication involving base and exponents. For example, we can write 5 ⋅5 ⋅5 ⋅5as 54 in
the exponential form, where 5 is the base and 4 is the power.

Exponential and Logarithmic Forms

 Logarithmic Form: log b a = c
 Exponential Form: b c= a

 Transforming Exponential function to Logarithmic form and Vice versa

Exponential to Logarithmic: b c=a » log b a = c
Logarithmic to Exponential: log b a = c » b c= a

MODULE 12
LESSON TITLE: Solve Exponential and Logarithmic forms of an Equation

 Logarithmic Form: The logarithmic form is written as log b a = c. It is a rearrangement of

the exponential form, b c=a. Any exponential equation can be written as a logarithm. The
logarithmic form is used to calculate an exponent of an equation. is read as “log base a of
c equals b”.
 Exponential Form: The exponential form is an easier way of writing repeated
multiplication involving base and exponents. For example, we can write 5 ⋅5 ⋅5 ⋅5as 54 in
the exponential form, where 5 is the base and 4 is the power.

MODULE 14
LESSON TITLE: Simple Interest and Discount

 Simple Interest: This is the amount of money that the borrower has to pay to the lender
on top of the principal amount. It is computed using the formula Is = PRT, where:
 Is = Simple Interest/Interest
 P = Principal Amount (The amount that is being borrowed or lent)
 R = Interest rate (Written in % form, but converted into decimal when used in
computation)
 T = Time/Period (The time/period used in simple interest is written in years.)

ILLUSTRATIVE PROBLEM NO. 1

 What would be the interest rate if the principal amount is Php 5,250.00 and the simple
interest is Php 8,250, thus needed to be repaired within 2 years?
To solve for the Interest Rate:

Given: I
R=
Is = Php 8,250.00 ( P)(T )
P = Php 5,250.00 8,250
=
(5250)(2)
T = 2 years
8,250
R =? =
10,500
= 0.78 or 0.8

So, the percentage of Interest Rate is 8%.

ILLUSTRATIVE PROBLEM NO. 2

 Rodrigo lent Josephine Php 20,000.00 due to Josephine’s health problems, Rodrigo
said that there will be a 5% interest on the lent money, Josephine agreed and said that
she will pay it back for about 9 months. The question is, how much will be the simple
interest?
To solve for the Simple Interest:

Given:
Is = PRT
P = Php 20,000.00 9 3
= (20,000) (0.05) ( or )
R = 5% (0.05) 12 4
9 3
T = 9 months ( ) = (1,000) ( )
12 4
Is =? = 750
Is = Php 750.00

So, the amount of Simple interest is Php 750.00.

ILLUSTRATIVE PROBLEM NO. 3

 While Robert is counting his earning, he suddenly stopped for about a second,
because he felt like he was scammed. He knew that he had a dept that he already paid
for, but he forgot how much he really borrowed from his friend. All that he
remembered is that he paid his dept for about 2 years with a 13% interest rate and the
interest was about Php 203,000.00. Now, he can’t remember how much he really
borrowed; can you help him solve it? Then, start calculating!!

To solve for the Principal Amount:

Given:
I
P=( )
R = 13% (0.13) ( R)(T )
203,000
=( )
(0.13)(2)
203,000
=( )
0.26
 13

T = 2 years
Is = Php 203,000.00
P =?

So, the Principal Amount is Php 780,796.23.

ILLUSTRATIVE PROBLEM NO. 4
 Edric crushed his car and he don’t have the money to repair the broken parts. A good
friend of him let him borrowed Php 100,000.00 to pay for the car to be repaired. He
promised to pay it back for about a year. His good friend agreed and said that there
will be a 7% interest. The night after he got the money, he slipped on a slippery
platform next to his garage, his head hit on the floor which led him to have a coma for
about three years. When he woke up from the coma, the first think he think of was his
dept. Now, compute the amount of interest Edric has to pay for.

To solve for the Simple Interest:

Given:
Is = PRT
P = Php 100,000.00
= (100,000) (0.07) (3)
R = 7% (0.07)
= (7,000 ¿(3)
T = 3 years
= 21,000
Is =?
Is = Php 21,000.00

So, the amount of Simple Interest is Php 21,000.00.

LESSON TITLE: Simple Ordinary and Exact Interest

 Ordinary Interest: Ordinary interest is used by default, should there be no specific

kind of interest in stated in the problem.
 In Ordinary Interest, we assume that there are 360 days in a year.
 Exact Interest: Interest based on a period that includes all 365 days of the year, not
just 360 days.

ILLUSTRATIVE PROBLEM NO. 1

 Find the amount of ordinary interest of Php 500,000.00 loan after 193 days of 4%
interest rate.
To solve for the Ordinary Interest:
Given:
I = PRT
P = Php 500,000.00 193
= (500,000) (0.04) ( )
R = 4% (0.04) 360
193 193
T= = (20,000 ¿( )
360 360
I =? = 10,722.22
I = Php. 10,722.22

So, the amount of Ordinary Interest is Php 10,722.22.

ILLUSTRATIVE PROBLEM NO. 2

 Given that he took out a loan for Php 280,000.00 over a period of 285 days at an
interest rate of 8%, Isaac wanted to determine his exact rate of interest. Identify
the precise interest Isaac paid on his loan.
To solve for the Exact Interest:
Given:
I = PRT
P = Php 500,000.00
193
R = 4% (0.04) = (500,000) (0.04) ( )
360
193 193
T= = (20,000 ¿( )
360 360
I =? = 10,722.22
I = Php.10,722.22

So, the amount of Exact Interest is Php 10,722.22.

= (554,865) (0.05) ( )
R = 5% (0.05) 360
