Concept explainers
To state: Whether the statement, an algebraic model can always be used to make accurate predictions, is true or false.
False.
Given Information:
An algebraic model can always be used to make accurate predictions.
Explanation:
The given statement is false.
Exponential model is used to predict the population growth, say for instance of animals.
So, the model is used to predict the population after certain number of years. But the population growth depends on many factors that affect/ changes the environment which in turn limit the growth of the population. For instance, pollution, limited food, disease.
Thus, for a short period of time the model can be used but in longer run the model is less likely to be accurate.
Therefore, the given statement is false.
