Use the formula \(t=\frac{\ln 2}{k}\) that gives the time for a population with a growth rate \(k\) to double to solve Exercises \(35-36 .\) Express each answer to the nearest whole year. The growth model \(A=4.3 e^{0.01 t}\) describes New Zealand's population, \(A,\) in millions, \(t\) years after 2010 . a. What is New Zealand's growth rate? b. How long will it take New Zealand to double its population?
Hurricanes are one of nature's most destructive forces. These low-pressure areas often have diameters of over 500 miles. The function \(f(x)=0.48 \ln (x+1)+27\) models the barometric air pressure, \(f(x),\) in inches of mercury, at a distance of \(x\) miles from the eye of a hurricane. The function \(P(t)=145 e^{-0.092 t}\) models a runner's pulse, \(P(t),\) in beats per minute, \(t\) minutes after a race, where \(0 \leq t \leq 15 .\) Graph the function using a graphing utility. TRACE along the graph and determine after how many minutes the runner's pulse will be 70 beats per minute. Round to the nearest tenth of a minute. Verify your observation algebraically.
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. $$\text { The domain of } f(x)=\log _{2} x \text { is }(-\infty, \infty)$$.
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. $$\frac{\log _{2} 8}{\log _{2} 4}=\frac{8}{4}$$
The percentage of adult height attained by a girl who is \(x\) years old can be modeled by $$f(x)=62+35 \log (x-4)$$ where \(x\) represents the girl's age (from 5 to 15 ) and \(f(x)\) represents the percentage of her adult height. Round answers to the nearest tenth of a percent. Approximately what percentage of her adult height has a girl attained at age \(13 ?\)
