Determine if the function is an exponential function.  

If so, identify the power & base, then evaluate for $x=4$.

$f\(\left\)(x\(\right\))=\(\left\)(-2\(\right\))^{x}$

Determine if the function is an exponential function.  

If so, identify the power & base, then evaluate for $x=4$ .

$f\(\left\)(x\(\right\))=3\(\left\)(1.5\(\right\))^{x}$

Determine if the function is an exponential function.  

If so, identify the power & base, then evaluate for $x=4$ .

$f\(\left\)(x\(\right\))=\(\left\)(\(\frac\)12\(\right\))^{x}$

Graph the given function.

$g\(\left\)(x\(\right\))=e^{x+3}-1$

A culture of bacteria has a population of $150$ cells when it is first observed. The population doubles every $12~\(\text{hr}\)$, which means its population is governed by the function $p\(\left\)(t\(\right\))=150\(\cdot{2^{\frac{t}{12}\)}}$, where $t$ is the number of hours after the first observation.

What is the population $4~\(\text{days}\)$ after the first observation?

How long does it take the population to triple in size?
