8.3 The Number “e” Named after its discoverer, Leonhard Euler (Oiler) He lived from (1707 – 1783) History has taught us special numbers: Counting Numbers, Zero, Negative numbers, π, and Imaginary numbers. One of the most famous numbers of modern times is “e. ” This number is called the “Natural Base e.” Let us explore this number using the calculator.
1. Let us analyze the following the table. n What value does seem to be approaching as “n” becomes larger? …
Ex. 1 Simplify. 1) 3) 4) 2) You Try!
Ex. 2 Graph Y – Int.: (0,3) HA: y = 0 Domain: All Real Numbers Range: y > 0 Exponential Growth because the coefficient of the x is POSITIVE.
Ex. 3 Graph Y – Int.: (0,4) HA: y = 0 Domain: All Real Numbers Range: y > 0 Exponential Decay because the coefficient of the x is NEGATIVE.
Ex. 4 You deposit $1,000,000 in a savings account that pays 7% annual interest compounded continuously. What is the balance after 5 years? Write this
