Chapter 1, Problem 27RE

(a)

To determine

To graph: The function V as the function of time t and also determine the nature of the plotting whether it is linear, quadratic or exponential, if the traffic V on the online bookstore website OHaganBooks.com with time t is analyzed by the CEO of the website as follows,

Year t	$0$	$1$	$2$	$3$	$4$	$5$	$6$
Website traffic $V\left(t\right)$ (visits/day)	$100$	$300$	$1,000$	$3,300$	$10,500$	$33,600$	$107,400$

(b)

To determine

To calculate: The ratios $\frac{V\left(1\right)}{V\left(0\right)},\frac{V\left(2\right)}{V\left(1\right)}\dots \text{and }\frac{V\left(6\right)}{V\left(5\right)}$ and determine its significance, if the traffic V on the online bookstore website OHaganBooks.com with time t is analyzed by the CEO of the website as follows,

Year t	$0$	$1$	$2$	$3$	$4$	$5$	$6$
Website traffic $V\left(t\right)$ (visits/day)	$100$	$300$	$1,000$	$3,300$	$10,500$	$33,600$	$107,400$

(c)

To determine

The next year’s traffic, if the traffic V on the online bookstore website OHaganBooks.com with time t is analyzed by the CEO of the website as follows,

Year t	$0$	$1$	$2$	$3$	$4$	$5$	$6$
Website traffic $V\left(t\right)$ (visits/day)	$100$	$300$	$1,000$	$3,300$	$10,500$	$33,600$	$107,400$
