The population of a southern city follows the exponential law. Use this information to answer parts a and b T (a) If N is the population of the city and t is the time in years, express N as a function of t N(t)= No en kt (Type an expression using t as the variable and in terms of e.) (b) If the population doubled in size over 30 months and the current population is 40,000, what will the population be 3 years from now? The population will be approximately people. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest whole number as needed.)

(Depreciation). Table 2 gives the market value of a luxury sedan (in dollars) x years after its purchase. (Use 4 decimal places in all answers.) Table 2: Luxury Sedan's Value x Value ($) 1 23,125 2 19,050 3 15,625 4 11,875 5 9,450 6 7,125 A. What exponential equation, V(x) best fits the data, where x is the number of years after purchase and V(x) is value of the vehicle after x years?V(x) = B. What is r2?r2 = C. Use the equation to estimate the purchase price of the vehicle and the value of the vehicle after 10 years. (Round to the nearest cent.)The purchase price of the vehicle after 10 years will be $ .D. Use the equation to estimate how old a luxury sedan valued at $12,000 is. (Round to the nearest year.)The luxury sedan should be about years old.
A lush forest has 100 foxes and 2 rabbits. The fox population doubles every year and the rabbit population triples every year. The foxes agree not to hunt the rabbits until they are outnumbered by the rabbits. -Let t be the number of years that pass, and come up with two exponential expressions that model the fox population and rabbit population respectively. -The rabbits will equal (and then shortly outnumber) the foxes midway through some year. Find the value of t such that the two populations are equal, accurate to four decimal places, and the populations of each animal at that time to the nearest whole number.
The graph (in the attached picture) shows four exponential functions, each with the equation; y = abx If a > 1 and b > 1, then which of four (in the attached picture) could be its graph?
A national census bureau predicts that a certain population will increase from 35.3 million in 2000 to 64.3 million in 2060. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. (a) Find an exponential function of the form f(t) = y₁b¹ for these data, in which t= 0 corresponds to 2000 and f(t) is in millions. f(t) (Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression.
