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.
The sales \(S\) (in thousands of units) of a new CD burner after it has been on the market for \(t\) years are modeled by \(S(t)=100\left(1-e^{k t}\right) .\) Fifteen thousand units of the new product were sold the first year. (a) Complete the model by solving for \(k\). (b) Sketch the graph of the model. (c) Use the model to estimate the number of units sold after 5 years.
The values \(y\) (in billions of dollars) of U.S. currency in circulation in the years \(\begin{array}{lllll}2000 & \text { through } 2007 & \text { can be } & \text { modeled } & \text { by }\end{array}\) \(y=-451+444 \ln t, 10 \leq t \leq 17,\) where \(t\) represents the year, with \(t=10\) corresponding to 2000 . During which year did the value of U.S. currency in circulation exceed \$690 billion? (Source: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System)
Use the acidity model given by \(\mathrm{pH}=-\log \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right],\) where acidity \((\mathrm{pH})\) is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration \(\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]\) (measured in moles of hydrogen per liter) of a solution. Apple juice has a pH of 2.9 and drinking water has a pH of \(8.0 .\) The hydrogen ion concentration of the apple juice is how many times the concentration of drinking water?
(a) solve for \(P\) and (b) solve for \(t\). $$A=P e^{r t}$$
