Use the compound interest formulas to solve Exercises 10–11. Suppose that you have $5000 to invest. Which investment yields the greater return over 5 years: 1.5% compounded semiannually or 1.45% compounded monthly?

In Exercises 1–10, approximate each number using a calculator. Round your answer to three decimal places. 4^-1.5

In Exercises 1–10, approximate each number using a calculator. Round your answer to three decimal places. e^2.3

In Exercises 5–9, graph f and g in the same rectangular coordinate system. Use transformations of the graph of f to obtain the graph of g. Graph and give equations of all asymptotes. Use the graphs to determine each function's domain and range. f(x) = 3^x and g(x) = -3^x

Solve each equation. Round answers to the nearest hundredth as needed. x^(2/3) =36
