Example Question #122 : Solving And Graphing Exponential Equations
Does the function 
Yes,
No
Yes, 
Yes,
That cannot be determined from the information given.
No
The 
If we try to solve this equation for 
To bring the exponent down we will need to take the natural log of both sides.
Since the natural log of zero does not exist, there is no exponent which makes this equation true.
Thus, there is no 
Example Question #122 : Solving And Graphing Exponential Equations
Which of the following correctly describes the graph of an exponential function with a base of three?
It starts out by gradually increasing and then increases faster and faster.
It starts by increasing quickly and then levels out.
It stays constant.
It begins by decreasing gradually and then decreases more quickly.
It begins by decreasing quickly and then levels out.
It starts out by gradually increasing and then increases faster and faster.
Exponential functions with a base greater than one are models of exponential growth. Thus, we know that our function will increase and not decrease. Remembering the graph of an exponential function, we can determine that the graph will begin gradually, almost like a flat line. Then, as
