- Round each percentage increase or decrease that you calculate to the nearest tenth of a percent. Percentage Decay Rate from Decay FactorAn exponential function has a decay factor of 0.70. What is the percentage decay rate?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_forwardUse a calculator to help solve each problem. Bluegill population A Wisconsin lake is stocked with 10,000 bluegill.
