Given that the population has been modeled by the formula:
a=118e^(0.024t), the time taken for the population to hit 140k will be given by:
140000=118e^(0.024t)
solving for t we shall have:
140000/118=e^(0.024t)
thus;
0.024t=ln(140000/118)
t=1/0.024*ln(140000/118)
t=295
thus the time the population will be 140000 will be:
1998+295
=2293

Without graphing predict weather the function y= (1/2)x shows exponential growth or decay. Justify your predictions
Alik [6]

Answer:

The base of the exponential function is 0.5 which is between 0 and 1 and thus this is an exponential decay function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equations are usually in the form;

y=ab^{x}

where;

a is the initial value, that is the value of y when x is 0,

b is the growth or decay factor and also the base of the exponential function

If b>1, then it is an exponential growth function and the values of y keep getting bigger.

if 0<b<1, then it is an exponential decay function and the y values keep getting smaller as x increases.

In the function given;

y=(\frac{1}{2})^{x}

The base of the exponential function is 0.5 which is between 0 and 1 and thus this is an exponential decay function.

In order to justify our prediction, we can simply obtain the graph of the function and check on how x and y vary.

From the attachment below we can see that the values of y become increasingly smaller as the values of x increases in magnitude which justifies our predictions.

A) \frac{2 \frac{1}{4}}{ \frac{1}{2}}
b)\frac{1}{2} • 2 = 1
so \frac{9}{4} • 2 = \frac{9}{2} cups (which is 4 \frac{1}{2} )
