Sketch the graph of each function. $$f(x)=4^{x}$$
The velocity \(v\) of an object \(t\) seconds after it has been dropped from a height above the surface of the earth is given by the equation \(v=32 t\) feet per second, assuming no air resistance. If we assume that air resistance is proportional to the square of the velocity, then the velocity after \(t\) seconds is given by $$v=100\left(\frac{e^{0.64 t}-1}{e^{0.64 t}+1}\right)$$ a. In how many seconds will the velocity be 50 feet per second? b. Determine the horizontal asymptote for the graph of this function. c. Write a sentence that describes the meaning of the horizontal asymptote in the context of this problem.
Graph \(g(x)=10^{x}\), and then sketch the graph of \(g\) reflected across the line given by \(y=x\)
In the city of Whispering Palms, which has a population of 80,000 people, the number of people \(P(t)\) exposed to a rumor in \(t\) hours is given by the function \(P(t)=80,000\left(1-e^{-0.00055}\right)\) a. Find the number of hours until \(10 \%\) of the population has heard the rumor. b. Find the number of hours until \(50 \%\) of the population has heard the rumor.
Evaluate the exponential function for the given \(x\) -values. $$h(x)=\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^{x} ; x=-1 \text { and } x=3$$
