4.2 The Natural Exponential Functions

4.2.1 The Natural Exponential Functions

The natural exponential function is the exponential function

f ( x ) = e x

with base e.

Example 1 Graph g ( x ) = e ^ x^ 2 from the graph of f ( x ) = e x^. State the domain, range and asymptote(s).

4.2.2 Continuously Compound Interest

Continusouly compound interest is calculated by the formula

A ( t ) = Pe rt

  • A ( t ) = amount after t years
  • P = principal
  • r = interest rate per year
  • t = number of years.

Example 3 Which of the given interest rates and compounding periods would provide the better investment? (a) 5.2% per year, compounded semiannually;

(b) 5% per year, compounded continuously
