Transcendental Functions by Mind Map: Transcendental Functions

1. Exponential Functions

1.1. Exponential Growth & Decay

1.1.1. Compound & Continuous Interest (Pe^rt and N=(1+r/n)^t)

1.1.2. Half Life (Pe^(-.5)(t))

1.2. Solving Exponential Equations

1.2.1. Solving Using One to One Property (If terms share a base, then the bases cancel and the exponents are equal to each other)

1.2.2. Solving with Quadratic Equations (Factor and set the factors equal to 0)

1.3. Graphing

1.3.1. Graphing by Transformations

1.3.1.1. Horizontal Translation

1.3.1.2. Dilation

1.3.1.3. Reflection

1.3.2. Properties

1.3.2.1. X and Y Intercept: None and (0,1)

1.3.2.2. End Behavior: As x approaches negative infinity, y approaches 0. As x approaches infinity, y approaches infinity.

1.3.2.3. Horizontal Asymptote: y=0

1.3.2.4. Domain and Range: (negative infinity to infinity) and (0 to infinity)

1.3.2.5. Key Points: (0,1) and (1,b)

2. Modeling with Nonlinear Regression

2.1. Use Regression to Solve

2.1.1. Predict (How long will it take? How many in so-so years?)

3.2.2. Condensing Logarithmic Functions (make them shorter)

3.2.3. Check for Extraneous Solutions (make sure the solutions fall into the domain)

3.2.4. Solving Using One to One Property (If all terms share a log and log base, then they cancel out)
