Complete the table for a savings account subject to contimuous compounding ( \(A=P e^{n}\) ). Round answers to one decimal place. Amount Invested 8000 dollar Annual Interest Rate 8% Accumulated Amount Double the amount invested Time \(t\) in Years _______
We see from the calculator screen at the bottom of the previous page that a logistic growth model for world population, \(f(x),\) in billions, \(x\) years affer 1949 is $$ f(x)=\frac{12.57}{1+4.11 e^{-0.026 x}} $$ Use this function to solve Exercises \(38-42\) How well does the function model the data showing a world population of 6.1 billion for \(2000 ?\)
Students in a psychology class took a final examination. As part of an experiment to see how much of the course content they remembered over time, they took equivalent forms of the exam in monthly intervals thereafter. The average score for the group, \(f(t),\) after \(t\) months was modeled by the function $$f(t)=88-15 \ln (t+1), \quad 0 \leq t \leq 12$$ a. What was the average score on the original exam? b. What was the average score after 2 months? 4 months? 6 months? 8 months? 10 months? one year? c. Sketch the graph of \(f\) (either by hand or with a graphing utility). Describe what the graph indicates in terms of the material retained by the students.
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I can solve \(4^{x}=15\) by writing the equation in logarithmic form.
You take up weightlifting and record the maximum number of pounds you can lift at the end of each week. You start off with rapid growth in terms of the weight you can lift from week to week, but then the growth begins to level off. Describe how to obtain a function that models the number of pounds you can lift at the end of each week. How can you use this function to predict what might happen if you continue the sport?
