- Repeat the previous exercise to find the formula forthe APY of an account that compounds daily. Usethe results from this and the previous exercise todevelop a function I(n)for the APY of any accountthat compounds n times per year.arrow_forwardIn this model, the period immediately after the stock is issued offers excess returns on the stock—that is, the stock is selling for more than it is really worth. One such model for a class of Internet IPOs predicts the percent overvaluation of a stock as a function of time as R(t)=250(t2/(2.718)3t) where R (t) is the overvaluation in percent and t is the time in months after the initial issue. a. Use the information provided by the first derivative, second derivative, and asymptotes to prepare advice for clients as to when they should expect a signal to prepare to buy or sell (inflection point), the exact time when they should buy or sell (local maximum and minimum), and any false signals prior to a horizontal asymptote. Explain your reasoning. please type answer.arrow_forwardConsider a savings account with an interest rate of a = 0.1 and an initial investment of y(0) $100. At t=5, a one-time deposit of $50 is made. At t = 10, a one-time withdrawal of $40 is made. Set up and solve an initial value problem for the dollar value y(t) of the account. Sketch the graph of the solution. 1arrow_forward
- A Ferris wheel is 18 meters in diameter and boarded from a plataforma that is 1 meter above the ground. The six o’clock position on the Ferris wheel is level with the loading platform.The wheel completes 1 full revolution in 6 minutes. The function h(t) gives a persons height in meters above the ground t minutes after the wheel begins to turn. Find a formula for the height h(t) as a function of timearrow_forwardSuppose that a new employee starts working at $7.66 per hour, and receives a 5% raise each year. After time t, in years, his hourly wage is given by the function P(t) = 57.66(1.05)'. a) Find the amount of time after which he will be earning $10.00 per hour. b) Find the doubling time. After what amount of time will the employee be earning $10.00 per hour? |years (Round to the nearest tenth of a year.) What is the doubling time? years (Round to the nearest tenth of a year.)arrow_forwardP'(t) c. Evaluate lim r(t) = lim P(t) where P(t) is the logistic growth function from above. What does your answer say about populations that follow a logistic growth pattern? t00 t00 lim r(t) = t00 (Simplify your answer.) Choose the correct answer below. O A. As the population gets close to carrying capacity, the rate of population growth increases. O B. As the population gets close to carrying capacity, the rate of population growth vanishes. O C. As the population gets close to the initial population, the rate of population growth vanishes. O D. As the population gets close to carrying capacity, the rate of population growth equals the carrying capacity.arrow_forward
- The population of bears in a national forest is changing according to the function N(t) = 850(0.96)', where t is the time in years and N() is the number of bears. Which statement explains how the bear population is changing? A.O The population is decreasing by 4% per year. B. The population is increasing by 96% per year. c.O The population is decreasing by 96% per year. D.O The population is increasing by 4% per year.arrow_forwardA forest loses an average of 4.8% of its size every year due to logging. (a) write a function for the percent of the forest remaining after t years in the form P(t) = P0 at (b) write a function for the percent of the forest remaining after t years in the form. P(t) = P0 ekt (c) Use either formula to estimate when 10 % of the forest will remainarrow_forwardThe fox population in a certain region has an annual growth rate of 4 percent per year. It is estimated that the population in the year 2000 was 18800. (a) Find a function that models the populationt years after 2000 (t = 0 for 2000). Your answer is P(t) = (b) Use the function from part (a) to estimate the fox population in the year 2008. Your answer is (the answer should be an integer)arrow_forward
- P(t) is the price of a certain stock at time t during a particular day. (a) If the price of the stock is increasing faster and faster, are P′(t) and P″(t) positive or negative?(b) Explain your answer.arrow_forwardThe logistic growth function f(t)= describes the population of a species of butterflies t months after they are introduced to a non-threatening habitat. What is the limiting size of the butterfly population that the habitat will sustain? 720 1+8e-0.141 OA. 8 butterflies OB. 720 butterflies OC. 80 butterflies OD. 1440 butterfliesarrow_forwardThe change in an investor's income from a land he owns depends on fime. indicating function f(t) = 2000e0,005t is given as.
