- Graphical Reasoning Use a graphing utility to graph f and g in the same viewing window and determine which is increasing at the greater rate as x approaches +. What can you conclude about the rate of growth of the natural logarithmic function? afx=lnx,gx=xbfx=lnx,gx=x4arrow_forwardPresent Value: The present value P is the investment that is required today to yield a future value of B. if interest is compounded continuously at an APR of r, as a decimal, then the present value for an investment that will yield B future dollars after t years is given by P=Bertdollars. a. Write a formula for the present value as a function of time if the APR is 6 and the future value is B=5000dollars . b. Make a graph of the function you found in part a. use a horizontal span of 0 to 25 years. c. Does a small change in time have a greater effect on the present value at 1 year in the future or at 10 years in the future?arrow_forwardRate of Change What can be said about the rate of change of an exponential function?arrow_forward
- Exponential Growth What is the concavity of a graph showing exponential growth?arrow_forwardPopulation Growth These exercises use the population growth model. Deer Population The graph shows the deer population in a Pennsylvania county between 2010 and 2014. Assume that the Population grows exponentially. (a) What was deer Population in 2010? (b) Find a function that model the deer population t years after 2010. (c) What is the projected population in 2018? (d) Estimate how long it takes the population to reach 100,000.arrow_forwardGraphing Logarithmic Function Sketch the graph of the function by plotting points. f(x)=log3xarrow_forward
