2.  MM3A2e – Investigate and explain characteristics of exponential and logarithmic functions including domain and range, asymptotes, zeros, intercepts, intervals of increase and decrease, and rate of change.  MM3A2f – Graph functions as transformations of f(x) = a x, f(x) = log a x, f(x) = ex, f(x) = ln x.  MM3A2g - Explore real phenomena related to exponential and logarithmic functions including half- life and doubling time.  MM3A3d –Solve a variety of types of equations by appropriate means, choosing among mental calculation, pencil and paper, or appropriate technology.

3.  The number denoted by the letter e is called the natural base e.  It is an irrational number defined as follows: As n approaches +∞, (1 + ) n approaches e≈2.718281828.  A function of the form f(x)=ae rx is called a natural base exponential function.  Continuously Compounded Interest – When interest is compounded continuously, the amount A in an account after t years is given by the formula A=Pe rt, where P is the principal and r is the annual interest rate expressed as a decimal.
