1. Explain why the values of an increasing exponential function will eventually overtake the values of an
increasing linear function.
2. Given a formula for an exponential function, is it possible to determine whether the function grows or
decays exponentially just by looking at the formula? Explain.
3. The Oxford Dictionary defines the word nominal as a value that is “stated or expressed but not necessarily
corresponding exactly to the real value.” Develop a reasonable argument for why the term nominal rate is used to
describe the annual percentage rate of an investment account that compounds interest.
