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.
Complete the table for a savings account subject to continuous compounding ( \(A=P e^{n}\) ). Round answers to one decimal place. $$\begin{array}{l|c|l|c} \hline \begin{array}{l} \text { Amount } \\ \text { Invested } \end{array} & \begin{array}{l} \text { Annual Interest } \\ \text { Rate } \end{array} & \begin{array}{l} \text { Accumulated } \\ \text { Amount } \end{array} & \begin{array}{l} \text { Time } t \\ \text { in Years } \end{array} \\ \hline \$ 17,425 & 4.25 \% & \$ 25,000 & \\ \hline \end{array}$$

The formula \(A=10 e^{-0.003 t}\) models the population of Hungary, \(A\), in millions, \(t\) years after 2006 . a. Find Hungary's population, in millions, for \(2006,2007\), \(2008,\) and \(2009 .\) Round to two decimal places. b. Is Hungary's population increasing or decreasing?
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, to the nearest tenth, 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.
