1. In each case, state whether the described growth or decay is linear or exponential, and explain why. (a) The number of active U.S. oil drilling rigs is increasing by about 25 rigs per month. (b) Every decade, the Arctic loses about 13% of its sea ice due to increased temperatures.

7. A $7,000 investment earns 9% interest, compounded continuously. Find its value after 3 years.
A principal amount of $7,460 is placed in a savings account with a 4.29% annual interest rate, compounded continuously. Which table best models the growth of the account balance?
(Looking at the graph, we can see that the blue line, representing the population proportion in the USA, is consistently increasing over time and eventually reaches a value of around 0.33 (33%) after 100 years. In contrast, the green line, representing the population proportion in China, is decreasing over time and eventually reaches a value of around 0.67 (67%) after 100 years. The red line, representing the population proportion in Canada, remains relatively constant over time and has the lowest value among the three countries) By year 100, the USA has the highest proportion of the population, followed by China and Canada. Does my analysis correct ?

Country A has a growth rate of 3.2% per year. The population is currently 5,965,000, and the land area of Country A is 40,000,000,000 square yards. Assuming this growth rate continues and is exponential, after how long will there be one person for every square yard of land? This will happen in year(s). (Round to the nearest integer.)
A scientist studying the Earth’s population growth over the last 20 years found that there was 5.96 billion people on Earth in 1998 and that the population had grown 1.36% per year. Which of the following best describes her model for the population growth of Earth? a. The population growth cannot be modeled with either exponential or linear model. b. The population growth can be modeled with an exponential model since population is increasing by 81 million people each year. c. The population growth can be modeled with an exponential model since population is multiplied by 1.0136 each year. d. The population growth can be modeled with a linear model since population is increasing by 81 million people each year.
14) The price of a gallon of milk at a particular convenience store has been recorded over the course of 10 weeks. At the end of the third week, the price is $3.38 and at the end of the eighth week the price is $3.55. The price has been observed to increase exponentially. The price of milk increases at a rate of approximately A 1 в) 2 3 % per week. At the end of the 10 weeks, the price will be A $3.59 B $3.62 $3.69 when rounded to the nearest cent.

a. In 2000, the population of a country was approximately 6.35 million and by 2069 it is projected to grow to 12 million. Use the exponential growth model A=A0ekt, in which t is the number of years after 2000 and A0 is in millions, to find an exponential growth function that models the data. b. By which year will the population be 7 million?
