1 Section 5.6 Natural Logarithms

2 Exponential Models with Base e
Using a Model with Base e to Make a Prediction Example The BlackBerry® is a wireless handheld device. The numbers of BlackBerry subscribers are shown in the table for various years. Let f (t) be the number of BlackBerry subscribers (in millions) at t years since A possible equation of f is 1. Verify that f models the situation well. 2. Predict when there will be 100 million subscribers. Section 5.6 Slide 2

3 Draw a scattergram To predict, substitute 100 for f (t)
Exponential Models with Base e Using a Model with Base e to Make a Prediction Solution Draw a scattergram To predict, substitute 100 for f (t) Section 5.6 Slide 3

4 The model predicts that there will be 100 million subscribers in 2010.
Exponential Models with Base e Using a Model with Base e to Make a Prediction Solution Continued The model predicts that there will be 100 million subscribers in 2010. Section 5.6 Slide 4
