- Does a linear, exponential, or logarithmic model best fit the data in Table 2? Find the model.arrow_forwardRecent data suggests that, as of 2013, the rate of growth predicted by Moore’s Law no longer holds. Growth has slowed to a doubling time of approximately three years. Find the new function that takes that longer doubling time into account.arrow_forwardWhat does the y -intercept on the graph of a logistic equation correspond to for a population modeled by that equation?arrow_forward
- What is the y -intercept on the graph of the logistic model given in the previous exercise?arrow_forwardUse log21=0,log22=1, and log24=2 to estimate log23.arrow_forwardTable 6 shows the population, in thousands, of harbor seals in the Wadden Sea over the years 1997 to 2012. a. Let x represent time in years starting with x=0 for the year 1997. Let y represent the number of seals in thousands. Use logistic regression to fit a model to these data. b. Use the model to predict the seal population for the year 2020. c. To the nearest whole number, what is the limiting value of this model?arrow_forward
- With what kind of exponential model would half-life be associated? What role does half-life play in these models?arrow_forwardOn the day a grandchild is born, a grandparent deposits $2500 in a fund earning 7.5% interest, compounded continuously. Determine the balance in the account on the grandchild’s 25th birthday.arrow_forwardResearchers recorded that a certain bacteria population grew from 100 to 500 in 6 hours. At this rate of growth, how many bacteria will there be 24 hours from the start of the experiment?arrow_forward
