Exer. 31-32: Find an exponential function of the form
f(x) = ba-* + c that has the given horizontal asymptote and
y-intercept and passes through point P.
31 y = 32; y-intercept 212; P(2, 112)
32 y = 72; y-intercept 425; P(1, 248.5)
A. The financial value of a mutual fund goes up and down over time. Consider a certain mutual fund’s value V (in dollars) as a function of time t (in months since January 2010). In particular, note that January 2012 corresponds to the time value t = 24, July 2012 is t = 30, and January 2013 is t = 36. Suppose we also know the following information about the value of the mutual fund:V (24) = 8500 V (30) = 8700 V (36) = 10300, V' (36)=200, V''(36)= -30,
Find (V(30)-V(24))/6, Using correct units, interpret the meaning of your answer.
B. Find the line tangent to V (t) when t = 36, and then use this to estimate the value ofthe mutual fund in July 2013.
Please show working. Also, I was wondering if we solve part b with "definition of the derivative." If so, do you mind showing it?
Thank you!

As a consequence, the environment can only support the population if it contains no more than 100,000 fish (otherwise some fish would starve due to an inadequate supply of food, etc.).

Bob is eager to make quick money and plans to sell his stocks as soon as they reach a high value. On the day LAspaceX goes public, Bob keeps track of the stock value by the minute. The recorded values are as follows: Initially (at t=0 minutes), the stock is worth $2. After 10 minutes, the stock is worth $3. After 20 minutes, the stock is worth $5. After 30 minutes, the stock is worth $6. After 40 minutes, the stock is worth $8. a) Finding the Value of the Stock Using the Least Squares Method Using the data provided, determine the best-fit line V(t) = mt + b that represents the value V of the stock in dollars after t minutes using the least squares method.
