 Page 9 / 12

Use a graphing utility to find an exponential regression formula $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(x\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and a logarithmic regression formula $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}g\left(x\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ for the points $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\left(1.5,1.5\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and Round all numbers to 6 decimal places. Graph the points and both formulas along with the line $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y=x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ on the same axis. Make a conjecture about the relationship of the regression formulas.

Verify the conjecture made in the previous exercise. Round all numbers to six decimal places when necessary.

First rewrite the exponential with base e : $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(x\right)=1.034341{e}^{\text{0}\text{.247800x}}.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ Then test to verify that $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(g\left(x\right)\right)=x,$ taking rounding error into consideration:

$\begin{array}{ll}g\left(f\left(x\right)\right)\hfill & =4.035510\mathrm{ln}\left(1.034341{e}^{\text{0}\text{.247800x}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\right)-0.136259\hfill \\ \hfill & =4.03551\left(\mathrm{ln}\left(1.034341\right)+\mathrm{ln}\left({e}^{\text{0}\text{.2478}x}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\right)\right)-0.136259\hfill \\ \hfill & =4.03551\left(\mathrm{ln}\left(1.034341\right)+\text{0}\text{.2478}x\right)-0.136259\hfill \\ \hfill & =0.136257+0.999999x-0.136259\hfill \\ \hfill & =-0.000002+0.999999x\hfill \\ \hfill & \approx 0+x\hfill \\ \hfill & =x\hfill \end{array}$

Find the inverse function $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{f}^{-1}\left(x\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ for the logistic function $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(x\right)=\frac{c}{1+a{e}^{-bx}}.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ Show all steps.

Use the result from the previous exercise to graph the logistic model $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}P\left(t\right)=\frac{20}{1+4{e}^{-0.5t}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ along with its inverse on the same axis. What are the intercepts and asymptotes of each function?

The graph of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}P\left(t\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ has a y -intercept at (0, 4) and horizontal asymptotes at y = 0 and y = 20. The graph of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{P}^{-1}\left(t\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ has an x - intercept at (4, 0) and vertical asymptotes at x = 0 and x = 20.

## Exponential Functions

Determine whether the function $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y=156{\left(0.825\right)}^{t}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ represents exponential growth, exponential decay, or neither. Explain

exponential decay; The growth factor, $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}0.825,$ is between $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}0\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}1.$

The population of a herd of deer is represented by the function $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}A\left(t\right)=205{\left(1.13\right)}^{t},\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ where $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}t\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ is given in years. To the nearest whole number, what will the herd population be after $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}6\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ years?

Find an exponential equation that passes through the points and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\left(5,60.75\right).$

$y=0.25{\left(3\right)}^{x}$

Determine whether [link] could represent a function that is linear, exponential, or neither. If it appears to be exponential, find a function that passes through the points.

A retirement account is opened with an initial deposit of $8,500 and earns $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}8.12%\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ interest compounded monthly. What will the account be worth in $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}20\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ years? $42,888.18$ Hsu-Mei wants to save$5,000 for a down payment on a car. To the nearest dollar, how much will she need to invest in an account now with $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}7.5%\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ APR, compounded daily, in order to reach her goal in $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}3\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ years?

Does the equation $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y=2.294{e}^{-0.654t}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ represent continuous growth, continuous decay, or neither? Explain.

continuous decay; the growth rate is negative.

Suppose an investment account is opened with an initial deposit of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{10,500}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ earning $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}6.25%\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ interest, compounded continuously. How much will the account be worth after $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}25\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ years?

## Graphs of Exponential Functions

Graph the function $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(x\right)=3.5{\left(2\right)}^{x}.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ State the domain and range and give the y -intercept.

domain: all real numbers; range: all real numbers strictly greater than zero; y -intercept: (0, 3.5);

Graph the function $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(x\right)=4{\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)}^{x}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and its reflection about the y -axis on the same axes, and give the y -intercept.

The graph of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(x\right)={6.5}^{x}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ is reflected about the y -axis and stretched vertically by a factor of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}7.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ What is the equation of the new function, $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}g\left(x\right)?\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ State its y -intercept, domain, and range.

$g\left(x\right)=7{\left(6.5\right)}^{-x};\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ y -intercept: Domain: all real numbers; Range: all real numbers greater than $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}0.$

the operation * is x * y =x + y/ 1+(x × y) show if the operation is commutative if x × y is not equal to -1

College algebra is really hard?
Absolutely, for me. My problems with math started in First grade...involving a nun Sister Anastasia, bad vision, talking & getting expelled from Catholic school. When it comes to math I just can't focus and all I can hear is our family silverware banging and clanging on the pink Formica table.

I'm 13 and I understand it great
AJ
I am 1 year old but I can do it! 1+1=2 proof very hard for me though.

hi
Not really they are just easy concepts which can be understood if you have great basics. I am 14 I understood them easily.

find the 15th term of the geometric sequince whose first is 18 and last term of 387
I know this work
salma
The given of f(x=x-2. then what is the value of this f(3) 5f(x+1)
hmm well what is the answer
Abhi
If f(x) = x-2 then, f(3) when 5f(x+1) 5((3-2)+1) 5(1+1) 5(2) 10
Augustine
how do they get the third part x = (32)5/4
make 5/4 into a mixed number, make that a decimal, and then multiply 32 by the decimal 5/4 turns out to be
AJ
how
Sheref
can someone help me with some logarithmic and exponential equations.
20/(×-6^2)
Salomon
okay, so you have 6 raised to the power of 2. what is that part of your answer
I don't understand what the A with approx sign and the boxed x mean
it think it's written 20/(X-6)^2 so it's 20 divided by X-6 squared
Salomon
I'm not sure why it wrote it the other way
Salomon
I got X =-6
Salomon
ok. so take the square root of both sides, now you have plus or minus the square root of 20= x-6
oops. ignore that.
so you not have an equal sign anywhere in the original equation?
hmm
Abhi
is it a question of log
Abhi
🤔.
Abhi
I rally confuse this number And equations too I need exactly help
salma
But this is not salma it's Faiza live in lousvile Ky I garbage this so I am going collage with JCTC that the of the collage thank you my friends
