Directions: Please read and follow directions carefully. Make sure you show your work
when possible. Write the inverse of ln x next to your name for a point of extra credit.
When you are finished, find something quietly to do.

Tell whether a function represents exponential growth or exponential decay.

Identify the percent increase or decrease. Sketch a rough graph.

Solve the following word problems

3. You deposit $1500 in an account that pays 2.5% annual interest. Find the
balance after 5 years when the interest is compounded quarterly. Then find the
balance when the interest is compounded continuously.

4. The number of new chainsaws sold t years after the introduction of a new model
is given by the function y = 2500 ln (4t + 3). How many chainsaws will be sold 4
years after the new model is introduced? Round your answer to the nearest
whole number.
