Our approach is calculator based. For this, we will use the currently standard TI-84 calculator, and many of the examples will be explained and solved with it. However, we want to point out that there are also many other calculators that are suitable for the purpose of this course and many of these alternatives have similar functionalities as the calculator that we have chosen to use.

This is the leading term of the polynomial (if you expand \(p\) it is the term with the largest power) and therefore dominates the polynomial for large \(|x|\). We pass through the point \((8,0)\) like a line and we join (perhaps with the use of an eraser) to the large \(x\) part of the graph.

If the population was \(35.7\) million in the year \(2010\), then what is the population size of this country in the year \(2015\)? How long do you have to wait until the substance has decayed to \(\dfrac 1 4\) of its original size? Assuming that \(x,y>0\), write the following expressions in terms of \(u=\log(x)\) and \(v=\log(y)\): Find the exact solution of the equation: \(6^{x+2}=7^x\)

The reason for this is that the calculator just approximates the graph pixel by pixel and does not represent the exact graph. In particular, you should not just copy the graph from the calculator onto your paper, but interpret what you see and draw the interpreted graph!

Find the amount \(P\) that needs to be invested at \(4.275 \%\) compounded annually for \(5\) years to give a final amount of \(\$ 3000\). (This amount \(P\) is also called the present value of the future amount of \(\$3000\) in \(5\) years.)
