What is the domain, range, asymptotes, and intercepts for (parent) exponential functions
Domain: All reals, Range: y>0, y-int at (0,1), HA at y=0

What is the difference between interest, compounding interest, and continuously compounding interest?
Interest: price paid for borrowing money for a period of time, paid at the end of lending period
Compounding interest: Interest that is charged periodically, every time an interval passes and increases the amount of principal owed
Continuously compounding: interest is charged continuously and constantly added to the principal

What is the domain, range, asymptotes, and intercepts for (parent) logarithmic functions

A farmer monitoring an insect plague notices that the area affected by the insects is given by A_n=1000\times2^(0.7n) square meters, where n is the number of weeks after the initial observation. Estimate the time taken for the affected area to reach 5000 square meters.
It will take about 3 weeks and 2 days (or when n is about 3.32 weeks)
