1. The function f x  5x is an exponential function with base 5; f 2  52  25
and f 6  56  15,625.
2. (a) f x  2x is an exponential function with base 2. It has graph III.

(b) f x  2x  12 is an exponential function with base 12 . It has graph I.
(c) The graph of f x  2x is obtained from the graph of 2x by reflecting about the x-axis. Thus, it has graph II.
(d) The graph of f x  2x is obtained from the graph of 2x by reflecting about the x- and y-axes. Thus, it has
graph IV.
3. (a) To obtain the graph of g x  2x  1 we start with the graph of f x  2x and shift it downward 1 unit.
(b) To obtain the graph of h x  2x1 we start with the graph of f x  2x and shift it to the right 1 unit.

4. In the formula A t  P 1  nr for compound interest, the letters P, r, n, and t stand for principal, interest rate per
year, number of times interest is compounded per year, and number of years, respectively, and A t stands for the amount
after t years. So if $100 is invested at an interest rate of 6% compounded quarterly, then the amount after 2 years is

(b) In this case the total pay is 2  22  23      230 230 cents  $10,737,41824. Since this is much more than

Since there are 100 centimeters in a meter and 1000 meters in a kilometer, 1,099,511,627,776 centimeters s 11 million kilometers.
So the dimensions of the sheet of paper required are 4 cm by about 11 million kilometers.

4.2 THE NATURAL EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION

1. The function f x  e x is called the natural exponential function. The number e is approximately equal to 271828.

2. In the formula A t  Pert for continuously compound interest, the letters P, r, and t stand for principal, interest rate per
year, and number of years respectively, and A t stands for amount after t years. So, if $100 is invested at an interest rate
of 6% compounded continuously, then the amount after 2 years is A 2  100  e0062 s $11275.

102. (a) Since 0.24 meters  24 centimeters, the height of the graph is 2 24  1677216 cm. Now, since there are 100 cm
per meter and 1000 meters per kilometer, there are 100 1000  100,000 cm per km. So the height of the graph is
1,677,216 or about 168 kilometers.

log5 24  log5 25  log5 5  2. Thus, log5 24  2  log4 17.
105. The numbers between 1000 and 9999 (inclusive) each have 4 digits, while log 1000  3 and log 10,000  4. Since
dd ee dd ee
log x  3 for all integers x where 1000 n x  10,000, the number of digits is log x  1. Likewise, if x is an integer
dd ee dd ee dd ee
where 10n1 n x  10n , then x has n digits and log x  n  1. Since log x  n  1 % n  log x  1, the number
dd ee
of digits in x is log x  1.

4.4 LAWS OF LOGARITHMS


1. The logarithm of a product of two numbers is the same as the sum of the logarithms of these numbers. So
log5 25  125  log5 25  log5 125  2  3  5.
2. The logarithm of a quotient of two numbers is the same as the difference of the logarithms of these numbers. So
r s
25  log 25  log 125  2  3  1.
log5 125 5 5
3. The logarithm of a number raised to a power is the same as the power times the logarithm of the number. So

8. (a) In this case, a model for the bacteria population is n t  n 0 ert  22e012t , so after 24 hours the population is

9. (a) The doubling time is 18 years and the initial population is 112,000, so (c) O

a model is n t  112,000  2t18 . 

(b) We need to find the relative growth rate r. Since the population is
