TV Program: Algebra: In Simplest Terms: Exponential Functions

This episode covers exponential functions. These are functions in which the variable is an exponent. The first example used is of a gift which Ben Franklin made to the city of Philadelphia. Using exponential functions, he set the parameters of the gift so that his simple $4500 donation would be worth considerably more by the time a hundred years passed. Such functions can also be used in the calculation of deer populations, and in determining the decay of radioactivity.
