| A | B |
| Common Logarithmic Function | The logarithm base 10 of a number. |
| Compound Interest Formula | A method of computing interest in which interest is computed from the up-to-date balance ( y=P(1 + r/n)^nt). |
| Continuous Compounding Formula | Interest that is, hypothetically, computed and added to the balance of an account every instant (y = Pe^rt ). |
| Exponential Decay Function | A model for decay of a quantity for which the rate of decay is directly proportional to the amount present (y = ae^-bx ). |
| Exponential Growth Function | A 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 Models | A 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 Function | The 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 Function | Non-algebraic functions, exponential functions and logarithmic functions are two common examples of it. |
