Key: (b>0, b\neq 1) If (b>1) → growth; if (0<b<1) → decay.
Find population after 10 hours: (P(10)=500\cdot 2^10/4=500\cdot 2^2.5=500\cdot 2^2\cdot 2^0.5=500\cdot 4\cdot \sqrt2\approx 500\cdot 5.657 = 2828) Inverse of exponential: (y = \log_b x \iff b^y = x) Domain: (x>0) Range: all real numbers functions grade 11 textbook
Start with (f(x)=x^2). Apply: vertical compression by (1/2), shift right 3, shift up 4. [ y = \frac12 (x-3)^2 + 4 ] 4. Inverse Functions Switch (x) and (y) in (y=f(x)), then solve for (y). Inverse exists if (f) is one‑to‑one (passes horizontal line test). Key: (b>0, b\neq 1) If (b>1) → growth;
| Parameter | Effect | |-----------|--------| | (a) | vertical stretch ((|a|>1)) or compression ((0<|a|<1)), reflection in x‑axis if (a<0) | | (k) | horizontal stretch/compression, reflection in y‑axis if (k<0) | | (d) | horizontal shift (right if (d>0)) | | (c) | vertical shift (up if (c>0)) | [ y = \frac12 (x-3)^2 + 4 ] 4
