Use the best-fitting exponential model to determine the answer to each question. (For problems using calendar years, “reset the clock” so that t = 0 in the year for which you first have data.)

Exercise

In a certain lake the intensity I of light beneath the surface is a naturally declining function of the depth x in feet. The following table gives I as a percentage of the intensity of light at the surface:

Depth x (feet)

0

5

10

15

Intensity I (%)

100

60

35

20

How deep would you have to dive in this lake so that the light intensity there will be 1% of the surface intensity?
