1.) Have the students graph the function defined by the equation y = log 1/3x and list four properties of the function. 

1.) Using a graphing calculator to produce the following: Suppose the annual fees for attending a campus of the California State University system were $700 in 1986 and the cost increased by 10% each year (round answers to the nearest dollar). Calculate the cost for the year 1998. What would you expect the cost to be four years from 1998? What was the cost in 1982? Write an equation to describe this situation. Sketch a graph of this function from 1986 to 2000. In 1994, what were the actual fees? Locate this point in relation to your graphs. Is your model reasonable? Explain.
