CHAPTER 1 FUNCTIONSAND MODELS
5. All of these graphs approach 0 as → −∞, all of them pass through the point
(01), and all of them are increasing and approach ∞ as → ∞. The larger the
base, the faster the function increases for 0, and the faster it approaches 0 as
→ −∞.
Note: The notation “ → ∞” can be thought of as “ becomes large” at this point.
More details on this notation are given in Chapter 2.
6. The graph of − is the reflection of the graph of about the axis, and the
graph of 8 − is the reflection of that of 8 about the axis. The graph of 8
increases more quickly than that of for 0, and approaches 0 faster
as → −∞.
7. The functions with base greater than 1 (3 and 10 ) are increasing, while those
