A geometric series 2018-03-13
nathi pose la question :
Hi I am really struggling with this question please help !!!!
a pohutukawa tree is 86 centimetres when it is planted. in the first year after it is planted , the tree grows 42 centimetres in height.Each year the tree grows in height by 95% of the growth of the previous year.
assume that the growth in height of the pohutukawa tree can be modelled by a geometric sequence.
A)find the height of the tree 5 years after it is planted and figure out the maximum height the pohutukawa tree is expected to reach in centimetres. The maximum height part is not answered.

Exponential growth 2016-01-26
Paul pose la question :
The value of a stamp was 0.03 in 1851. The value in 2011 is $50,000. If the value increased exponentially, what is the annual growth rate?

Percentage increase 2012-08-01
Jay pose la question :
When calculating percentage growth, why is (y-x)/x the same as (y/x)-1 ??? (I seem to be stuck on the simple algebra here)...

e.g. 2011, toy was £5, 2012, toy is £10. What is the percentage increase? So, (10-5)/5 = 1 (i.e. 100% increase), AND, (10/5)-1 = 1 (i.e. also 100% increase).

Thanks in advance.

An exponential equation 2010-10-19
Sandi pose la question :

Question from sandi, a student:

I have several questions similar to this one and was wondering if you could walk me through this one. I'm totally lost on how to do it.
Paramecia reproduce by splitting in two. In a laboratory flask, a colony of paramecia had an initial population of 500. Each day, the population of the paramecia was counted. The results are as listed.
Time (in days)------Population
0-----------------------500
1-----------------------600
2-----------------------720
3-----------------------864
4----------------------1037
5---------------------1244
6---------------------1493
7----------------------1792
8---------------------2150
1.)Using graphing calculator make a scatter plot of the data in table.
I think I did this part right I set my window at Xmin=0 Xmax=10 Xscl=1 Ymin=0 Ymax=2500 Yscl=100 Xres=1
2.) Determine an exponential equation to represent the population as a function of time without using a graphing calculator.I have no clue how to do this.
3.)Suppose the flask and food supply is large enough to support the trend of the population growth. Estimate the population of the colony when the time is 10 days.

Linear growth 2010-01-27
S. pose la question :
I. Linear Growth:
Suppose that the town has a fixed increase in population growth number of population increase each year.

Choose the amount of population growth each year = 200 (Hint: Choose a whole number for your growth rate, rather than a percent.)

a) Fill in the following chart:

Year (t) Population (P)
t = 0
(2010) 1000

t = 1
(2011) 1000+200=1200

t = 2
(2012) 1000+400=1400

t = 3
(2013) 1000+600=1600

b) Find a linear equation in the form P = mt + b (y = mx + b), which gives the population, P, t years from 2010.

Growth rates 2010-01-26
Bhavya pose la question :
Dear Sir/Ma'am,

I read in the text book that the growth rates of these 3 functions are as below- n2/3 < n/lg n < n0.99

I tried the substitution method to check the correctness of this. But it gets really tough as n increase.

Is there any simpler way to understand the correctness of these growth rates?

Thanks and Regards,
Bhavya

Annual percent growth 2008-12-13
Joe pose la question :
If Wall-Mart had sales of $58,200,000,000 in the year 2002 and $90,800,000,000 in the year 2006.

1. Find what percent that increase is of the 2002 sales? I came up with (9.08*10^10 - 5.82*10^10) / 5.82*10^10 * 100 = 56.01% increase. Is this correct?

2. What was the percent GROWTH in Wal-Mart's sales from 2002-2006? I am having trouble figuring out how to do the Growth problem. I would appreciate any help.

Shelby pose la question :
How would you write a linear model to represent the population of a city that has a population of 547,725 and a growth rate of -25,195 per year with t represents the number of years since 1994?

Exponential decay 2006-03-29
Casey pose la question :
Fifty milligrams of a drug was injected into a patient at 6am. The drug is known to be eliminated according to the law of exponential decay. At 8.30am it was determined that 60% of the drug remained in the body. How many milligrams will remain in the body at midday?

Aunt Lucy's letter 2004-06-27
Olivia pose la question :
"Dear bob, now that i am getting on (70 today). i want to give you some of my money, i shall give you a sum each year, starting now. you can choose which of the following schemes you would like me to use.

a) £100 now, £90 next year,£80 the yaer after and so on.
b) £10 now, £20 next year, £ 30 the next year and so on.
c) £10 now, 1.5 times as much next year, 1.5 times as much the year after that and so on.
d)£1 now, £2 next year, £ 4 the year after, £8 the year after and so on.

of course these schemes will only operate while i am alive. i look forward to hearing which scheme you choose and why! Best wishes, Aunt Lucy."

Conservation, consumption and population growth 2001-06-04
Steve pose la question :
I'm trying to quantify the relation between conservation/consumption and population growth. For instance let's consider California:

The 2000 census states that California's population grew from 29,760* in 4-1990 to 33,871 in 4-2000. I want to find r or rate of growth per year. Based on the exponential growth formula for population growth:

A colony of bacteria 2000-04-22
Nicci Demmin pose la question :
