Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
If the half-life of a radioactive substance is 7 years, expressed as an inverse exponential function, what is the initial quantity of the substance if after 14 years there are 5 grams remaining?
Q(0) = 15 grams
Q(0) = 20 grams
Q(0) = 40 grams
Q(0) = 10 grams
What must hold true for both an exponential function and its inverse related to their continuity properties?
Each contains exactly one type of discontinuity, which manifests differently due to their inverse relationship
While is always continuous, exhibits a countable infinity of removable discontinuities over its domain
Both functions are continuous over their respective domains without exception
They might share identical vertical asymptotes demonstrating mutual points of discontinuity
For which value does , where is defined as , have an asymptote?
t=7 since this would make inside term zero
t=9 since this would make inside term undefined
t=13 since this makes denominator zero in equivalent rational expression
None, because for all t
Which equation represents the horizontal stretch by a factor of two for the exponential function ?
Which property do both the exponential function and its inverse share?
INCORRECT. Both functions are quadratic.
INCORRECT. Both functions pass through the origin (0,0).
INCORRECT. Both functions have a constant slope.
CORRECT. Both functions are one-to-one.
If , what is the base 'a' in the inverse function ?
It turns into '1/a'.
It becomes '10'.
It changes to 'e'.
It remains 'a'.
What happens algebraically to find g(y), if you have h(x) such that h(x)=ae^(bx+c)+d and want g(y) which represents h's antilogarithm/inverse?
Suggests isolating the variable exp(b*x+c) first, then deconstructing sequentially until reverse-engineered fully back to the terms initial input encompassed primarily via antecedent stages involved thus far.
Proposes utilizing transcendental manipulations complex enough to transcend basic polynomial arithmetic yet simple enough to maintain the integrity of the overarching system design while converting the process in the opposite direction entirely compared to the beginning status it stood at the start once the reversal was initiated, proper course of action taken place consequently.
It implies solving the equation relative to โy,โ yielding the form , assuming parameters permit valid solutions existent within the operational context required thereof.
Indicates direct inversion methodology whereby coefficients/factors switched reciprocally around until orderly arranged in the opposite manner/fashion compared to the starting setup initially presented before reversing the sequence began onwards after.

If there is an asymptote at for the function , what conclusion can be drawn regarding the slope of the graph of function as the input approaches infinity?
The slope remains constant
The slope becomes increasingly negative
The slope approaches zero
The slope rapidly approaches infinity
What property must be true for an exponential function to have an inverse?
It must be one-to-one (bijective)
It must have an asymptote at y=0
It must have a positive slope everywhere on its domain
It must intersect the origin (0,0)
How many years will it take for an investment to quadruple in value if it grows according to an exponential function with an inverse doubling time of six years?
Around twenty-four years
About eighteen years
Precisely six years
Approximately twelve years
