- The population P (in millions) of Texas from 2001 through 2014 can be approximated by the model P=20.913e0.0184t, where t represents the year, with t=1 corresponding to 2001. According to this model, when will the population reach 32 million?arrow_forwardRefer to the previous exercise. Suppose the lightmeter on a camera indicates an EI of 2 , and thedesired exposure time is 16 seconds. What should thef-stop setting be?arrow_forwardRepeat the previous exercise to find the formula forthe APY of an account that compounds daily. Usethe results from this and the previous exercise todevelop a function I(n)for the APY of any accountthat compounds n times per year.arrow_forward
- What is the y -intercept on the graph of the logistic model given in the previous exercise?arrow_forwardThe population of a lake of fish is modeled by the logistic equation P(t)=16,1201+25e0.75t, where t is time inyears. To the unrest hundredth, how manyyears will it take the lake to reach 80% of its carrying capacity?For the following exercises, use a graphing utility to create a scatter diagram of the data given in the table.Observe the shape of the scatter diagram to determine whether the data is best described by an exponential,logarithmic, or logistic model. Then use the appropriate regression feature to find an equation that models thedata. When necessary, round values to five decimal places.arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, use this scenario: A doctor prescribes 125 milligrams of a therapeutic drug that decays by about 30% each hour. Using the model found in the previous exercise, find f (10) and interpret the result. Round to the nearest hundredth.arrow_forward
- Use the result from the previous exercise to graph the logistic model P(t)=201+4e0.5t along with its inverse on the same axis. What are the intercepts and asymptotes of each function?arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, consider this scenario: A town has an initial population of 75,000. It grows at a constant rate of 2,500 per year for 5 years. When will the output reached 100,000?arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, refer to Table 11. Use the LOGISTIC regression option to find a logistic growth model of the form y=c1+aebx that best fits the data in the table.arrow_forward
- For the following exercise, consider this scenario: In 2004, a school population was 1,700. By 2012 the population had grown to 2,500. Assume the population is changing linearly. a. How much did the population grow between the year 2004 and 2012? b. What is the average population growth per year? c. Find an equation for the population, P, of the school t years after 2004.arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, use this scenario: A doctor prescribes 125 milligrams of a therapeutic drug that decays by about 30% each hour. To the nearest hour, what is the half-life of the drug?arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, consider this scenario: A town has an initial population of 75,000. It grows at a constant rate of 2,500 per year for 5 years. What is the output in the year 12 years from the onset of the model?arrow_forward
