Word Problems
1) There are 5 monkeys on Monkey Island. Every Month the population doubles.
Equation: y=5*2^x
Table:

2) A banker invests $1000. Every year the money loses half.

Equation: y=1000*(1/2)^x
Table:

Months / Monkeys
0/5
1 / 10
2 / 20
3 / 40
4 / 80
5 / 160

Year / $
0 / 1000
1 / 500
2 / 250
3 / 125
4 / 62.5
5 / 31.25

Ex1. In 1996, monkey island had 400 monkeys. The population decreased 5% every year. Equation: y=400*(.95)^x. What is the population today? Y=1000*(.95)^11.
Ex2. Bob invests $1000 in 2000. The money increases 4% every year. Equation: y=1000*(1.04)^x. How much money today? 1000*(1.04)^7.

2) 16^3/2 = 4^3 = 64

Express in logarithmic form

1) 3^5 = 243
2) 9^3=729
log.3^243=5

3) Find the vertex of the following quadratic functions.

a) y=x^2+4x+3
b) y=2x^2-8x-1
-b / 2a = -4/2(1) = -2 = x
