Find the length of the graph of the function \(f\) defined by $$ f(x)=\sqrt{9-x^{2}} $$ on the interval [-3,3] .
Estimate the value of $$ \left(1+10^{-100}\right)^{3 \cdot 10^{100}} $$
In Section 3.5 we saw that if a radioactive isotope has half-life \(h,\) then the function modeling the number of atoms in a sample of this isotope is $$ a(t)=a_{0} \cdot 2^{-t / h}, $$ where \(a_{0}\) is the number of atoms of the isotope in the sample at time 0 . Many books do not use the formula above but instead use the formula $$ a(t)=a_{0} e^{-(t \ln 2) / h}. $$ Show that the two formulas above are really the same. [Which of the two formulas in this problem do you think is cleaner and easier to understand?]
