A certain type of lily plant is growing in a pond in such a way that the number of plants is growing exponentially. The number of plants, n(t), in the pond at time, t, in months, is modeled by the function n(t) = 50(3t).
Read each statement about the exponential function. Using one card at a time, decide if you agree or disagree about the statement.
All real numbers is a reasonable domain for this scenario.
There were 36,450 lily plants after 6 months.
The lily plant population tripled each month.
There is no maximum value.
The number of lily plants will always range from 50 to infinity.
The minimum value is 3 lily plants.
n(t) = 1350 after 3 months
There were initially 50 lily plants in the pond.
n(2) = 4050
The lily plant population decreases as the number of months increases.
