指数增长・衰减与复利

用初始量、变化倍率与周期数建立增长或衰减模型。

01 / UNDERSTAND

这部分需要会什么?

  • 将增长率或衰减率转换为乘数
  • 匹配时间单位与指数周期
  • 处理复利、倍增和半衰模型

核心概念与公式

每期增长率为 \(r\) 时,\(P(t)=P_0(1+r)^t\);每期减少比例 \(r\) 时,\(P(t)=P_0(1-r)^t\)。这里 \(r\) 用小数表示,\(t\) 是经历的期数。

若每 \(d\) 个时间单位翻倍,可写 \(P(t)=P_0\,2^{t/d}\);每 \(d\) 个时间单位减半,则为 \(P_0(1/2)^{t/d}\)。名义年利率 \(r\)、每年复利 \(n\) 次的模型为 \(P_0(1+r/n)^{nt}\),其中 \(t\) 以年计。

做题时怎样使用

  1. 标出初始量、每期变化率和每期有多长
  2. 将百分率改为乘数,并把时间换成对应期数
  3. 比较两时刻时可求比值,消去共同的初始量

容易混淆的地方

增长 5% 的乘数是 1.05;衰减 5% 的乘数是 0.95。每两小时增长 10%,指数应为小时数除以 2。

02 / CONNECT

用一个例题串起方法

知识点教学例题
某种数量初始为 500,每 3 小时增长 20%。求 6 小时后的数量。
展开解题思路 +

6 小时包含 \(6/3=2\) 期,所以数量为 \(500(1.2)^2=720\)。不是在初值上只增加一次 40%。

A computer program models the total mass of the population of a certain type of algae after the algae was placed in an environment where it has no natural predators. According to the model, the estimated total mass of this population of algae at the end of every 6-hour period is 129% greater than the estimated total mass of this population of algae at the end of the previous 6-hour period, and the estimated total mass of this population of algae is 613.90 grams after 18 hours. Which equation best represents this model, where A is the estimated total mass, in grams, of the population of algae after x hours, and \( x<50 \)?

A sum of 9,000 dollars was invested in a certificate of deposit (CD) that earns interest, and no other deposits or withdrawals were made after that. The function \( f(x)=9,000(1+0.03)^x \) gives the value of the CD, in dollars, x years after the investment was initially made, where \( x\le5 \). Which of the following is the best interpretation of the statement “\( f(2) \) is approximately equal to 9,474.08” in this context?

A model estimates that the initial number of photons in an X-ray beam is 800 when the beam reaches the surface of a certain material. The model also estimates that when the beam passes through this material, the number of photons in the beam decreases by 50% for each 7 millimeters of the material the beam passes through. Which equation represents this model, where I is the estimated number of photons in the beam when the beam reaches a point x millimeters from the surface?
