7.3 Use Functions Involving e

Natural Base e (Euler's Number)
Euler's number is a special number that can be used in exponential growth and decay functions as well.

Exploration
We can explore growth and decay using euler's number and it's special properties as well. [br][br]Normally a function is in exponential growth when x > 1, and decays when x < 1. [br][br]When euler's constant is used as the natural base, exponential growth occurs when x > 0.[br][br]
How To Use the Model
- Explore by moving k around. Note when the graph changes between growth and decay[br]- Explore by moving a around now. Note how the graph changes.[br]
