Question

In the equation Q = 45e1.031a quantity Q is changing over time t.(a) What is the quantity at timet = 0?(b) Is the quantity increasing or decreasing over time?(c) What is the percent per unit time continuous growth or decay rate?

Answer 1

(a) The equation is given as Q=45e^1.03t

where e=2.718

Taking t=0 the equation will be :

$Q=45e^{1.03\ast0}$

This will give;

$Q=45\ast2.718^0$

Q=45
