1) Choose and exponential function that represents a real-world situation and graph the function. Analyze the graph.
2) Earnest "Monney" Warther was a whittler and a carver. For one of his most unusual carvings, Mooney carved a large pair of pliers in a tree. From this original carving he carved anther pair of pilers in each handle of the original. Then he carved another pair of pliers in each of those handles. He continued this pattern to create the original pliers and 8 more layers of pliers. Even more amazing is the fact that all of the pliers work. Using information about the pliers explain how exponential functions can be used in art. Include the exponential function representing the pliers, an explanation of which x and y values are meaningful, and the graph of this function.
