Question 1118718: Population Growth: A population is increasing according to the exponential function
y=2e^0.02x
Where y is in millions and x is the number of years. Match each question in column I with the correct procedure in column II.
Column I - When will the population reach 3 million?
Column II answer options:
1. Evaluate y=2e^0.02(1/3
2. Solve 2e^0.02x=6
3. Evaluate y=2e^0.02(3)
4. Solve 2e^0.02x=3

Question 1119205: Below is a list of elements and their known half-life. Using the given half life determine an exponential function that gives the proper decay rate for the given element. Create a table of values listing the amount of the element you started with and then determining the amount of time to go from 1,000 units to the amount in the table
Amount Remaining Years/Days to Decay to Remaining Amount 1000 900 800 700 600 500 (half life) 400 300 200 100 0
Make sure to show the work for each calculation as a function of time, A(t), where A is the amount remaining and t is time in years/days (depending on the half-life value.) You will be using a log function to calculate the time.
Make a graph of your table plotting out all points in the table. Use an appropriate scale for your graph and state the scale. Your axes should reflect the function A(t) (meaning one should be labeled A and the other t.)

Question 1122142: The growth of a certain species (in millions) since 1970 closely fits the following exponential function where t is the number of years since 1970.
A(t)=3500e^0.0166t
a. The population of the species was about 4142 million in 1980. How closely does the function approximate this value?
b. Use the function to approximate the population of the species in 2000. (The actual population in 2000 was about 5869 million)
c. Estimate the population of the species in the year 2015.

Question 1122720: Find all the positive integers k for which 7×(2^k)+ 1 is a perfect square.
I started by setting it to 7×(2^k)+1=x^2 where x^2 represents perfect squares. Then i rearranged to 7×(2^k)=x^2-1. Then I used difference of two squares to get 7×(2^k)=(x+1)(x-1). I then used logs to rearrange it for k, but I am not sure if that is right or if I am even on the right path.
Thank you for taking the time to attempt this in advance!!

Question 1125312: GENERAL: Hailstones A hailstone (a small sphere of ice) is forming in the clouds so that its radius is growing at the rate of 1 millimeter per minute. How fast is its volume growing at the moment when the radius is 2 millimeters? [Hint: The volume of a sphere of radius r is V = 4/3*pi r^3.]
