In 2013, the moose population in a park was measured to be 5,100. By 2018, the population was measured again to be 5,200. If the

population continues to change exponentially, find an equation for moose population, P, as a function of t, the years since 2013

Answer:

P(t) = 5100e^{0.0039t}

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential model for the population in t years after 2013 is given by:

P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}

In which P(0) is the population in 2013 and r is the growth rate.

In 2013, the moose population in a park was measured to be 5,100

This means that P(0) = 5100

So

P(t) = 5100e^{rt}

By 2018, the population was measured again to be 5,200.

2018 is 2018-2013 = 5 years after 2013.

So this means that P(5) = 5200.

We use this to find r.

P(t) = 5100e^{rt}

5200 = 5100e^{5r}

e^{5r} = \frac{52}{51}

\ln{e^{5r}} = \ln{\frac{52}{51}}

5r = \ln{\frac{52}{51}}

r = \frac{\ln{\frac{52}{51}}}{5}

r = 0.0039

So the equation for the moose population is:

P(t) = 5100e^{0.0039t}

5. After 6 hours, the concentration is halved. After 12 hours, it will be quartered. If the original concentration is 200 nmol, a quarter is 50 nmol.

14. The population doubles after 3 hours, and a day is 24 hours. That means that the original population should be multiplied by 2^{24/3}, or 2^8. 3 million times 2^8 is 3 * 256 million, or 768 million.

15. The concentration is halved every 8 hours and the original concentration is 100 nmol. So now, how many times do you halve 100 to get to 12.5?

100/2 = 50, 50/2 = 25, 25/2 = 12.5. That's three times. 3 * 8 is 24 hours, or 1 day.
