How are the functions f and g given by f(x) = (1.05)^x and g(x) = e^0.05x similar?
How are they different?

By analyzing the functions we will see that:
Here the two functions are:
We can see that both of these are exponential equations, and we also can see that both of these are exponential growths (as x increases, also does the function).
Well, the only different thing is the base, to see how the base is different we can rewrite the function g(x).
[tex]e^{0.05*x} = (e^{0.05})^x = (1.0513)^x[/tex]
Then we can rewrite g(x) as:
g(x) = (1.0513)^x
So here we can see that the base of g(x) is a little bit larger than the one of f(x).
