- 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_forwardConsider the function price = $100 – ($3/yr) x time. The initial value of this function isarrow_forwardA principal of 250 OR is deposited in an account that pays 0.064 interest compounded yearly. Account balance function in response of time (years)is f(x) = P(1+r)* P: initial value r: interest compounded yearly x: time in year a. Find the account balance after 5 years. b. By graphing show if the Account balance function is increasing or decreasng. c. After how many years the account balance will be 12000 OR.arrow_forward
- In 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_forwardA 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_forward
- Let Q represent a mass of radioactive plutonium (239Pu) (in grams), whose half-life is 24,100 years. The quantity of plutonium present after t years is Q = 15(1/2)t/24,100 . (a) Determine the initial quantity (when t = 0). g(b) Determine the quantity present after 85,000 years. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) g(c) Use a graphing utility to graph the function over the interval t = 0 to t = 150,000.arrow_forwardWith t in years, the formulas for balances of two bank accounts, in dollars, are: f(t) = 1100(1.05)t and g(t) = 1500e0.05t(a) Describe the balance of the account modeled by f.(b) Describe the balance of the account modeled by g. State the effective annual yield.(c) What continuous rate has the same effective growth rate as the rate at which f(t) grows?arrow_forward1. For the exponential function y: (3)*+2 + 1, = -. [1,3,1,3] i. state the equation of the base/parent function ii. state and order the specific transformations iii. state the equation of the asymptotearrow_forward

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_forwardThe 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_forward
