Lesson 10 - 3.3#15 Graphs of Exponential - Study of the City of Boston's Population since 2000:

Given: P0 = 651, 000 and declines at a rate of 1.2% per year.

Exponential decreasing function: Pt = P0(1 - r)t

(a) Formula is Pt = 651(0.988)t (in thousands)

(b) Pop in 2010: t = 10 is

P10 = 651000(0.988)10 = 576,966

(c) When is pop = 550,000? t = 13.96 years

Since

Lesson 10 - 3.3#17 Graphs of Exponential - Number of disease cases decreasing at a rate of 10% per year..

Exponential decreasing function: y = y0(1 - r)t

(a) Formula is y = 10000(0.90)t , Since y0 = 10000.

(b) 5 years from now, y(5) = 10000(0.9)5 = 5905 cases

(c) Find t when y(t) = 1000.

1000 = 10000(0.90)t ., t = 21.854 years

Since

Lesson 10 - 3.3#31 Graphs of Exponential - Rabbit population growth from 10 to 340 in 5 years.

Exponential increasing fct: Pt = P0(1 + r)t

(a) Since 340 = 10(b)5,

Pt = 10(2.0244)t

(b) Graphically estimate of when P = 1000 is shown in Figure 10.1

From graph, t = 6.5296 years

Since
