LT9: Given an exponential graph, identify the growth/decay rate, the vertical intercept, evaluate f(a), and find x given f(a), and make an equation for the curve. The graph at the left is an exponential function of the form f(x)=a(b)^x. a) Is the value of a positive, negative, or zero? How can you tell from the graph? b) Find an equation for f(x). Make sure to show your work or thought process. c) What is the growth or decay rate of your function? d) Evaluate f(5). Did you use the graph or the function to find your answer? e) Find x when f(x) = 40.

The limit represents f'(c) for a function f(x) and a number c. Find f(x) and c. Use the graph of f to find the largest open interval on which f is increasing, and the largest open interval on which f is decreasing. (Enter your answers using interval notation.) (a) Find the largest open interval(s) on which f is increasing. (If two open intervals are equally large enter your answer as a comma-separated list of intervals.) (b) Find the largest open interval(s) on which f is decreasing. (If two open intervals are equally large enter your answer as a comma-separated list of intervals.)
