Question 4 Question 5
i. Sketch the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑥 i. A satellite that requires 7 watts of power to
and 𝑦 = 𝑙𝑛 𝑥 on the same cartesian axes operate at full capacity is equipped with a
---------------------------------------------------- radioisotope power supply whose power
---------------------------------------------------- output P in watts is given by the equation
−𝑡
---------------------------------------------------- 𝑃 = 75𝑒 ⁄125
---------------------------------------------------- where t is the time in days that the supply
---------------------------------------------------- is used.
---------------------------------------------------- How long can the satellite operate at full
---------------------------------------------------- capacity?
