V. What I Have Learned
An exponential function can be written as
f(x) = bˣ
where
b > 0,
b ≠ 1,
and x is any real number.

Given
P = 50,000
r = 3% = 0.03
t = 1 year
Formula: A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
A. Balance After 1 Year
Given
P = 50,000
r = 3% = 0.03
t = 1 year
Formula: A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
A. Balance After 1 Year
Account Compounding Balance After 1 Year
1 Quarterly ₱51,517
2 Monthly ₱51,521
3 Continuously ₱51,522.70
Solutions
Account 1 – Quarterly Compounding
A = 50,000(1 + 0.03/4)^(4×1)
A = 50,000(1 + 0.0075)^4
A = 50,000(1.0075)^4
A = 50,000(1.030339)
A = 51,516.95 ≈ ₱51,517
Account 2 – Monthly Compounding
A = 50,000(1 + 0.03/12)^(12×1)
A = 50,000(1 + 0.0025)^12
A = 50,000(1.0025)^12
A = 50,000(1.030416)
A = 51,520.80 ≈ ₱51,521
Account 3 – Continuous Compounding
A = Pe^(rt)
A = 50,000e^(0.03×1)
A = 50,000(1.030454)
A = 51,522.70
B. Guide Questions
1. What is the significance of the value of n in the given situation?
The value of n shows how many times the interest is added in one year. If n is bigger, the interest is
added more often.
2. What is the implication of the resulting values of (1 + r/n)^n in each account?
The values show how much the money grows after one year. When the interest is compounded more
often, the amount becomes a little higher.
3. If the client will decide on one account to retain, what should it be and why?
The client should choose the continuous compounding account because it gives the highest balance
after one year.
VII. Additional Activities
Exponential Growth:
Occurs when b > 1 because the value of the function increases as x increases.
Exponential Decay:
Occurs when 0 < b < 1 because the value of the function decreases as x increases.
