A population numbers 14,000 organisms initially and grows by 8.8% each year. Suppose P represents population, and t the number of years of growth. An exponential model for the population can be written in the form P = a.b' where P = If 24500 dollars is invested at an interest rate of 10 percent per year, find the value of the investment at the end of 5 years for the following compounding methods, to the nearest cent. (a) Annual: $...
Suppose that t months after a stimulus program begins, there are N(t) thousand people unemployed, where N(t) = -t3 + 45t2 + 405t + 3174 During a recession, the Ministry of Ecomonics decides to stimulate the economy by providing funds to hire unemployed workers for infrastructure projects. To avoid inducing inflation, a decision is made stimulus program as soon as the rate at which the rate of unemployment begins to decline. At this time of this decline, how many people...

The equation N(t) = 1100 1 + 195e−0.625t models the number of people in a school who have heard a rumor after t days. To the nearest tenth, how many days will it be before the rumor spreads to half the carrying capacity?
This exercise uses the population growth model. The fox population in a certain region has a relative growth rate of 5% per year. It is estimated that the population in 2013 was 16,000. (a) Find a function n(t) = n0ert that models the population t years after 2013. n(t) = (b) Use the function from part (a) to estimate the fox population in the year 2020. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) (c) After how many years will...
