options: Understand the inverse relationship between exponents and logarithms and use this relationship to solve problems involving logarithms and exponents.

Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, k f(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology. Include recognizing even and odd functions from their graphs and algebraic expressions for them.

Find inverse functions.
problem_activity: Task
Suppose a can of cold soda is left in a warm room on a summer day.  The graph below shows the temperature of the soda as it gradually increased:
[IMG]
The function that describes the temperature, $F$, of the soda (in degrees Fahrenheit) after $t$ minutes can be expressed by
$$F(t)=C - R e^{-kt},$$
for some positive values of $C$, $R$, and $k$.<
Use the graph to estimate $C$.
Use the graph to estimate $R$.
What was the approximate room temperature?  What was the initial temperature of the soda when placed in the room?
