Determine the principal \(P\) that must be invested at rate \(r\), compounded monthly, so that $$\$ 500,000$$ will be available for retirement in \(t\) years. $$r=5 \%, t=10$$
The demand equation for a limited edition coin set is \(p=1000\left(1-\frac{5}{5+e^{-0.001 x}}\right)\) Find the demand \(x\) for a price of (a) \(p=\$ 139.50\) and (b) \(p=\$ 99.99\).
The number \(y\) of hits a new search-engine website receives each month can be modeled by \(y=4080 e^{k t},\) where \(t\) represents the number of months the website has been operating. In the website's third month, there were 10,000 hits. Find the value of \(k,\) and use this value to predict the number of hits the website will receive after 24 months.
Use your school's library, the Internet, or some other reference source to write a paper describing John Napier's work with logarithms.
The yield \(V\) (in millions of cubic feet per acre) for a forest at age \(t\) years is given by \(V=6.7 e^{-48.1 / t}\) (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. (b) Determine the horizontal asymptote of the function. Interpret its meaning in the context of the problem. (c) Find the time necessary to obtain a yield of 1.3 million cubic feet.
