Today we went over the last 2 problems on the worksheet, since they were applications. The assignment for tonight is the following worksheet: Download Analyzing Graphs of Exponential Functions Worksheet . Answers to this worksheet are:
1. The steepest is y = 3^x. Next is e^x and the closest to the x axis is y = 2^x, because 3^x increases fastest, 2^x increases slowest and 2<e<3.
2. The highest is y = .85^x, next is y = .8^x and the lowest is y = .7^x, since .7 < .8 < .85.
