I think "u" stands for units. means units squared which is like saying ft^2 if you were looking for the area of something with feet dimensions. So in this case, the circle has a diameter of x units (u) and an area of x units^2 (
). It is not the same as r. "r" is most always going to be used to represent the radius.
The given exponential function can be used to determine the
population of the fish at different times.
Response:
1. 200
2. 0.05
3. Please find attached the graph of the exponential function and the table
4. Range; [0, ∞)
Domain: [200, ∞)
5. 346 fishes (approximate value)
<h3>How is the population of the fish obtained from the exponential function?</h3>The given function is f(x) = 200·(1.05)ˣ
1. The initial population is given by the value of the function when x = 0,
which is given as follows;
At x = 0, f(0) = 200·(1.05)⁰ = 200
2. The rate of growth of the fish from the exponential function is given as follows;
The growth factor = 1.05
3. Please find attached the graph of the exponential function created
with MS Excel.
The asymptote of the exponential function is the line, <u>y = 0</u>
The table of values is presented as follows;
4. The domain is the possible x-values which is; 0 ≤ x < ∞
The range is the possible y-values which is; 200 ≤ f(x) < ∞
Which gives;
5. The population of the fish after 11 years is f(11) = 200·(1.05)¹¹
f(11) = 200 × (1.05)¹¹ ≈ 342
