  1. The Natural Base, e Essential Questions • How do we use the number e to write and graph exponential functions representing real-world situations? Holt McDougal Algebra 2 Holt Algebra 2

  2. 1 n Examine the graph of f(n)= (1 + )n. The function has a horizontal asymptote. As n becomes infinitely large, the value of the function approaches approximately 2.7182818…. This number is called e. Like , the constant e is an irrational number.

  3. Exponential functions with e as a base have the same properties as the functions you have studied. The graph of f(x) = ex is like other graphs of exponential functions, such as f(x) = 3x. The domain of f(x) = ex is all real numbers. The range is {y|y > 0}.

  4. Simplify Using Properties of Exponents Simplify the expression.

  5. Simplify Using Properties of Exponents Simplify the expression.

  6. Evaluating Natural Base Expressions Use a calculator to evaluate the expression. Round the result to three decimal places.
