1) Research.
I. Inverse Functions
Go to Section 3.1 by clicking on the button book contents in the textbook and selecting Chapter 3.
Exponential and Logarithmic Functions (see below). Pay particular attention to the explanation of
one-to-one functions as well as the characteristics of inverse functions.
II. Exponential Functions and Compound Interest
Select Section 3.2 Exponential Functions and read Topic 1: Exponentials. Scroll down to page 370 and
select
Animation: Investigating the effect of the base on the graph of an exponential function.
Change the values of b and observe three different “looks” for the graph in the animation. Hint: one
of the “looks” shows that the graph is not an exponential function.
Some important applications of exponentials relate to simple and compounding interest. The
formulas are as follows.
Read the project carefully and answer all questions in complete sentences.
