A biologist is studying the growth of a bacterial colony in a petri dish. The table below shows the number of cells in the petri dish after some weeks during the study.



When finding a regression model, the biologist gets the following values for r:
Linear: 0.8233
Quadr: 0.9804
Expon: 0.9905
Logar: 0.6934

Match the expressions using the properties of logarithms or exponents.

(Hint: You can try these out in your calculator by setting a, m, and n to different numbers.)

a^{m}\cdot a^{n}
(ab)^{m}
\frac{a^{m}}{a^{n}}
a^{m\cdot n}

(a^{m})^{n}
\frac{ln(x)}{ln(b)}
Given the following exponential function, identify whether it represents exponential growth or decay, and determine the percentage rate of increase or decrease.

y=420(.981)^{x}
growth at 98.1%
decay at 98.1%
decay at 1.9%
growth at 1.9%
Given the following exponential function, identify whether it represents exponential growth or decay, and determine the percentage rate of increase or decrease.

y=800(1.078)^{x}
growth at 1.078%
decay at 1.078%
decay at 7.8%
growth at 7.8%
Given the following exponential function, identify whether it represents exponential growth or decay, and determine the percentage rate of increase or decrease per unit of x.

y=800(2.718)^{0.244x}
growth at 24.4%
growth at 27.6%
decay at 24.4%
decay at 27.6%
growth at 2.5% every minute
growth at 2.5% every 7500 minutes
decay at 2.5% every minute
decay at 2.5% every 7500 minutes
The function f(t) = 9200(0.79)^{t} represents the change in a quantity over t years. What does the constant 0.79 reveal about the rate of change of the quantity?
growth at 79% every day
growth at 79% every year
decay at 21% every day
growth at 21% every day
decay at 21% every year
decay at 79% every year
(Hint: find the equivalent monthly rate.)
f(t)=780(1.0297)^{12t}
f(t)=780(1.42)^{12t}
f(t)=780(1.0297)^{t}
f(t)=780(1.42)^{\frac{1}{12}t}
Dan and Ben invested the same amount in savings. Dan earns a certain rate of monthly interest, while Ben earns a certain rate of yearly interest. If they both end the year with the same amount of interest collected, who's interest rate is greater, Dan's or Ben's?
There is not enough information to determine this.
Ben's interest rate is greater than Dan's.
They have the same interest rate.
Dan's interest rate is greater than Ben's.
Categorize the following situations by the model that best suits them.
The amount of gas in a tank after some distance driving.
The value of a savings account some time after collecting interest.
The path of a rock some time after it is launched from a catapult.
The population of rabbits after some time without predation.
The total amount of calories consumed after eating some number of M&Ms.
