Graph each of the following functions in the same viewing rectangle and then place the functions in order from the one that increases most slowly to the one that increases most rapidly. \(y=x, y=\sqrt{x}, y=e^{x}, y=\ln x, y=x^{x}, y=x^{2}\)
How can you tell whether an exponential model describes exponential growth or exponential decay?
One problem with all exponential growth models is that nothing can grow exponentially forever. Describe factors that might limit the size of a population.
The data can be modeled by the function \(f(x)=1.2 \ln x+15.7\) where \(f(x)\) is the percentage of the U.S. gross domestic product going toward health care \(x\) years after \(2006 .\) a. Use the function to determine the percentage of the U.S. gross domestic product that went toward health care in \(2009 .\) Round to the nearest tenth of a percent. Does this underestimate or overestimate the percent displayed by the graph? By how much? b. According to the model, when will \(18.5 \%\) of the U.S. gross domestic product go toward health care? Round to the nearest year.
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. $$\text { The domain of } f(x)=\log _{2} x \text { is }(-\infty, \infty)$$.
