Question

Instructions: Determine whether the following situation can be modeled by a linear or exponential relationship, and use the model to answer the question.

Answer 1

Solution

The situation can be modeled by EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION

The equation of the model will be

$N(t)=4000(2)^{\frac{t}{200}}$

Population in 600 minutes

$\begin{gathered} N(t)=4000(2)^{\frac{600}{200}} \\ \\ N(t)=4000\times2^3 \\ \\ N(t)=4000\times8 \\ \\ N(t)=32000 \end{gathered}$

Answer is 32,000
