Derivative of exe^x

exe^x

For Q=ektQ = e^{kt}, find dQdt\frac{dQ}{dt}

kektke^{kt} or kQkQ

Exponential growth differential equation

dQdt=kQ\frac{dQ}{dt} = kQ

Solution to dQdt=kQ\frac{dQ}{dt} = kQ

Q=Q0ektQ = Q_0 e^{kt}

What is Q0Q_0 in Q=Q0ektQ = Q_0 e^{kt}?

Initial value at t=0t = 0

Exponential decay differential equation

dMdt=kM\frac{dM}{dt} = -kM (kk positive)

Solution to dMdt=kM\frac{dM}{dt} = -kM

M=M0ektM = M_0 e^{-kt}

Definition of half-life

Time for exactly half of substance to remain

How to calculate kk from data?

Use data points to create equation, solve with logarithms

In exponential growth, rate of change is...?

Proportional to current value
