Applications
It can help with Physics for calculating velocity from a displacement vs time graph. There is also a use in Economics as lines such as Budget Lines can be used and there can be a understanding leading to better economic analysis

Exponential Functions
Exponential Growth
Growth which multiplies and its growth increases as time goes on.
Its equation is: y=aBˣ in which B>1 and "a" is the initial amount
Exponential Growth is different than linear growth as exponential growth is a quantity being multiplied while linear growth is a quantity repeatedly being added to by the same number
How to identify
Graphically: If there seems to be an increase or decrease of a quantity as the x value changes. This is simple to spot
The B Value, as previously stated can also be seen to see whether a there is growth or decay
A Table of Values can also be utilized to recognize if there has been growth or decay as the numbers will increase/decrease
An illustration of Exponential Growth and Decay
Exponential Decay
When a quantity decays (opposite of growth) by a multiple and its eventually it will reach a limit during which the decay will be virtually nothing. That point is its asymptote
Its equation is: y=Bˣ in which B<1

Real Life Applications
Exponential Functions can be used to find:
Compound Interest : A=A₀(1+ⁱ⁄ₙ)ⁿᵗ
Continuous Compound Interest : A=A₀(e)ᶦᵗ
Bacteria's Growth : A=A₀(B)ᵗ⁄ₚ
Half Life : A=A₀(B)ᵗ⁄ₚ
The number e
Definition: It is a mathematical constant with the value of 2.718... and is seen as the base for a natural logarithm (ln)
How is it found:Using the formula of (1+1/n)ⁿ is a way to find the value of e
Asymptotes
A point in a graph that a function will never touch but will get near to as it is a restriction in the graph. The curve will approach infinity as it comes near the asymptote
1.4
Parametric Equations
Relations
A set of ordered pairs of (x,y) and each variable is a function to a third variable of "t" which is called a parameter
These can be graphed using a graphing calculator to show the parametric equation. Which an example of is x(t)=t and y(t)=3t
Circles
General Equation: (x-h)²+(y-k)²=R²
x is the x coordinate
y is the y coordinate
(h,k) is the center of the circle
R is the radius of the circle
However for Parametric Equations a circle can be represented by having (sin(t),cos(t)) as your set of ordered pairs with a Domain of: 0≤t≤2π.
Note: The ordered pair can also be (cos(t),sin(t)) and the coefficient must be the same for both values in the ordered pair as the coefficient will be your radius

The coefficient in the values in the ordered pair is 2
Ellipses
Similar to a circle this has a more oval like shape as it can be stretched horizontally or vertically. Its General Equation is:
[(x-h)²/a²] + [(y-k)²/b²] = 1
x is the x coordinate
y is the y coordinate
(h,k) is the center
a is the distance from the center to the major axis' end
b is the distance from the center to the minor axis' end
However for Parametric Equations an ellipse can be represented by having (sin(t),cos(t)) as your set of ordered pairs with a Domain of: 0≤t≤2π.
Note: The ordered pair can also be (cos(t),sin(t)) and the coefficient must be different for both values in the ordered pair
Lines and Other Curves (Segments)
A parametric equation does not always have to be a function as it does not pass the vertical line test at times. However a curve can be made in certain instances by making x and y specific functions. A line segment can also be made by having certain functions for x and y.
An example of a line segment would be x(t)=t+2 y(t)=4t+1 and it would make a straight line. An example of a curved segment would be x(t)=t^2+2 y(t)=4t+1
Parametrizing a line segment
If you have two points which make a line segment, you can parametrize that to get the parametric equations. To do this, you would find your two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) and then assign one as T=0 and another as T=1. Then using the Formula of x(t)=aT+B and y(t)=cT+D, you can substitute T=0 to get the D value. Afterwards you can substitute for T=1 in those equations and get x2=aT+B and y2=cT+D and solve for a and c to get your final equations in the Formula that was first stated. You do not have to use T=0 and T=1 however that is the most simple method.

In this example, points of (2,1) and (3,5) were parameterized and using the method explained we get x(t)=t+2 and y(t)=4t+1
