Recall that the natural log, ln x, is a logarithm with base e. We can differentiate ln x simply with the following rule:

Bases Other than eBases Other than e

xx eedx

d

In addition, we know that the natural exponential function, ex, can easily be differentiated:

x

xdx

d 1ln

ueedx

d uu u

dx

d ln

By applying the chain rule, we get:

and

But, what do we do if we have a logarithm or exponential function that has a base other than e? To determine these derivatives, we need to use a very useful logarithmic operation called the change of change of base formulabase formula. Recall from precalculus:

This formula allows us to transform any logarithm into a quotient of logarithms with any base that we choose, including the natural logarithm. More specifically:

To determine the derivative of a natural exponential function with a base other than e, we need to note:

So, how do we integrate an exponential function with a base other than e? Once again, we use the alternate form of the exponential function of ax:

In terms of integration, at this point, we cannot find the integral of ln x, but we can integrate ex. Recall:

Occasionally, an integrand involves an exponential function to a base other than e. When this occurs, there are two options:(1) use substitution, and then integrate, or (2) integrate directly, using the integration formula

Applications of Exponential Functions

Applications of Exponential Applications of Exponential FunctionsFunctions

Suppose P dollars is deposited in an account at an annual interest rate r (in decimal form). If interest accumulates in the account, what is the balance in the account at the end of 1 year? The answer depends on the number of times n the interest is compounded according to the formula

A = P


For instance, the result for a deposit of $1000 at 8% interest compounded n times a year is shown in the table.


As n increases, the balance A approaches a limit. To develop this limit, use the following theorem.


To test the reasonableness of this theorem, try evaluating

it for several values of x, as shown in the table.


Now, let’s take another look at the formula for the balance A in an account in which the interest is compounded n times per year. By taking the limit as n approaches infinity, you obtain


This limit produces the balance after 1 year of continuous compounding. So, for a deposit of $1000 at 8% interest compounded continuously, the balance at the end of 1 year would be

A = 1000e0.08

≈ $1083.29.


Example 6 – Comparing Continuous, Quarterly, and Example 6 – Comparing Continuous, Quarterly, and Monthly CompoundingMonthly Compounding

A deposit of $2500 is made in an account that pays an annual interest rate of 5%. Find the balance in the account at the end of 5 years if the interest is compounded (a) quarterly, (b) monthly, and (c) continuously.
