AB
Common Logarithmic FunctionThe logarithm base 10 of a number.
Compound Interest FormulaA method of computing interest in which interest is computed from the up-to-date balance ( y=P(1 + r/n)^nt).
Continuous Compounding FormulaInterest that is, hypothetically, computed and added to the balance of an account every instant (y = Pe^rt ).
Exponential Decay FunctionA model for decay of a quantity for which the rate of decay is directly proportional to the amount present (y = ae^-bx ).
Exponential Growth FunctionA model for growth of a quantity for which the rate of growth is directly proportional to the amount present (y = ae^bx ).
Logarithmic Function with Base “a”The logarithm base a of a number x is the power to which a must be raised in order to equal x. This is written log a x.
Logarithmic ModelsA model for graphing logarithms in the form of y = a + blog x or y = a + bln x.
Natural Base “e”e ≈ 2.7182818284.... is a transcendental number commonly encountered when working with exponential models.
Natural Logarithmic FunctionThe logarithm base e of a number. That is, the power of e necessary to equal a given number. The natural logarithm of x is written ln x.
Transcendental FunctionNon-algebraic functions, exponential functions and logarithmic functions are two common examples of it.
