This graph is identical to T in (b).
Taking logs of temperatures led to a linear scatter
plot because the log function increases very slowly
as the x-values increase. Taking the reciprocals of
the temperatures led to a linear scatter plot because
of the asymptotic nature of the reciprocal function.

Exponential and Logarithmic Equations
To solve an exponential equation, isolate the exponential expression, then take the logarithm of both sides.
Then solve for the variable.

Doubling the interest rate yields the same result as
doubling the number of years.
If 2 > ert (i.e., rt < ln 2), then doubling your
investment would yield the most money. If
rt > ln 2, then doubling either the interest rate
or the number of years would yield more money.

Thus, the time to quadruple is twice as long as the

(e) The linear model gives a higher value for the car for the
first two years, then the exponential model yields a higher
value. If the car is less than two years old, the seller would
most likely want to use the linear model and the buyer the
exponential model. If it is more than two years old, the
opposite is true.

(e) The slope of the linear model means that the computer depreciates $300 per year, then loses all value in
the third year. The exponential model depreciates
faster in the first two years but maintains value longer.

(b) From the graph, u $120,000 when t 21 years. It
would take approximately 37.6 years to pay $240,000 in
interest. Yes, it is possible to pay twice as much in interest
charges as the size of the mortgage. It is especially likely
when the interest rates are higher.

logistic growth function.
68. False. A logistic growth function never has an x-intercept.
69. False. The graph of f x is the graph of gx shifted
upward five units.
70. True. Powers of e are always positive, so if a > 0, a
Gaussian model will always be greater than 0, and if
a < 0, a Gaussian model will always be less than 0.

The function that increases at the fastest rate for “large”
values of x is y1 ex. (Note: One of the intersection
points of y ex and y x3 is approximately 4.536, 93

because compound interest earns more than simple interest. With simple
interest there is no compounding so the growth is linear.
