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}

You have been given the task of transporting 3,000 apples 1,000 miles from Appleland to Bananaville. Your truck can carry 1,000
chubhunter [2.5K]
If the truck can carry 1000 apples at a time, Bananaville is 1000 miles away from Appleland and you pay one apple per mile, then it's impossible to deliver any apple to Bananaville, because on 1000 miles you'll pay 1 apple * 1000 miles = 1000 apples as a tax. So no matter if you go once, twice, three times or a hundred times there - you'll be never able to deliver any apple.

Answer: The highest number of apples you can get to Bananaville is 0.
