please use one of the equations given.
The general model for
exponential growth is
y =a(b)x where b > 1
The general model for
exponential decay. is
y = a(b)x where 0 < b < 1
%3D
If there is a growth or
decay period the model is
y = a(b)*
where:
b is the growth or decay
factor
a is the initial population
or value
p is the time it takes to
grow or decay by the
given factor

5. a) The population of a bacteria colony triples every 4 hours. If the population now is
100, what expression would give me the population of the colony in the future?
What is the population of the colony tomorrow at this time?
b) Three years ago I purchased a car for $35000.00. I just found out the car has a
value of $20012.55.
A) Create an algebraic model to represent this depreciation.
B) Use this model to estimate the value of the car after 5 years.
