Find the model.arrow_forwardRachel invests $15,000 at age 25. She hopes the investments will be worth when she turns 40. If the interest compounds continuously, approximately what rate of growth will she need to achieve her goal?arrow_forward
- What is the y -intercept of the logistic growth model y=c1+aerx ? Show the steps for calculation. What does this point tell us about the population?arrow_forwardMaria, a biologist is observing the growth pattern of a virus. She starts with 100 of the virus that grows at a rate of 10% per hour. She will check on the virus in 24 hours. How many viruses will she find?arrow_forwardIs carbon dating? Why does it work? Give an example in which carbon dating would be useful.arrow_forward
- What is the difference between the equation for exponential growth versus the equation for exponential decay?arrow_forwardThe population of a lake of fish is modeled by the logistic equation P(t)=16,1201+25e0.75t, where t is time inyears. To the unrest hundredth, how manyyears will it take the lake to reach 80% of its carrying capacity?For the following exercises, use a graphing utility to create a scatter diagram of the data given in the table.Observe the shape of the scatter diagram to determine whether the data is best described by an exponential,logarithmic, or logistic model. Then use the appropriate regression feature to find an equation that models thedata. When necessary, round values to five decimal places.arrow_forwardEstimate the age of a newly discovered fossil for which the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 is R=1/1014.arrow_forward
