- Enter the data from Table 2 into a graphing calculator and graph the ranking scatter plot. Determine whetherthe data from the table would likely represent a function that is linear, exponential, or logarithmic.arrow_forwardWhat type (s) of translation (s), if any, affect thedomain ofa logarithmic function?arrow_forwardWhat type (s) of translation(s), if any, affect the range of a logarithmic function?arrow_forward
- What situations are best modeled by a logistic equation? Give an example, and state a case for why the example is a good fit.arrow_forwardSales of a video game released in the year 2000 took off at first, but then steadily slowed as time moved on. Table 4 shows the number of games sold, in thousands, from the years 20002010. a. Let x represent time in years starting with x=1 for the year 2000. Let y represent the number of games sold in thousands. Use logarithmic regression to fit a model to these data. b. If games continue to sell at this rate, how many games will sell in 2015? Round to the nearest thousand.arrow_forwardWhat might a scatterplot of data points look like if it were best described by a logarithmic model?arrow_forward
- Rewrite e3.5=h as an equivalent logarithmicequation.arrow_forwardDoes a linear, exponential, or logarithmic model best fit the data in Table 2? Find the model.arrow_forwardExplain why the values of an increasing exponentialfunction will eventually overtake the valuesof anincreasing linear function.arrow_forward
- With what kind of exponential model would half-life be associated? What role does half-life play in these models?arrow_forwardBuffalo: Waterton Lakes National Park of Canada, where the Great Plains dramatically meet the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, has a migratory buffalo bison herd that spends falls and winters in the park. The herd is currently managed and so kept small; however, if it were unmanaged and allowed to grow, then the number N of buffalo in the herd could be estimated by the logistic formula N=3151+14e0.23t Here t is the number of years since the beginning of 2002, the first year the herd is unmanaged. a. Make a graph of N versus t covering the next 30 years of the herds existance corresponding to dates up to 2032. b. How many buffalo are in the herd at the beginning of 2002? c. When will the number of buffalo first exceed 300?. d. How many buffalo will there eventually be in the herd? e. When is the graph of N, as a function of t, concave up? When is it concave down? What does this mean in terms of the growth of the buffalo herd?.arrow_forwardLogistic Population growth the table and scatter plot give the population of black flies in a closed laboratory container over an 18 day period. (a) Use the logistic command on your calculator to find a logistic model for these data. (b) Use the model to estimate the time when there were 400 flies in the containerarrow_forward
