Question 2
2.

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}

Question 3
3.

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}

Question 4
4.

Given the exponential function y=104(.77)^{x}, what is the percentage rate of growth/decay?

Enter your answer as an integer, no "%" or spaces.

Question 5
5.

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}

Question 6
6.

Given the following exponential function determine the percentage rate of increase or decrease per unit of x.

y=(4)^{-2x}

Enter your answer as a 4-digit number.

Question 7
7.

Question 8
8.

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?

Question 9
9.

(Hint: find the equivalent monthly rate.)

Question 10
10.

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?

Question 11
11.

Categorize the following situations by the model that best suits them.

  • The value of a savings account some time after collecting interest.
  • The population of rabbits after some time without predation.
  • The path of a rock some time after it is launched from a catapult.
  • The amount of gas in a tank after some distance driving.
  • The total amount of calories consumed after eating some number of M&Ms.
  • Linear
  • Quadratic
  • Exponential Growth
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

Question 14
14.

In what week will the number of cells reach one billion (1,000,000,000)?

Enter your answer as a number rounded to the nearest tenth.

The table below lists the time it takes for a turkey to reach certain temperatures after being pulled from a hot oven.



When finding a regression model, a student gets the following values for r:

Linear: 0.9068
Expon: error
Logar: 0.9708

Question 16
16.

Estimate the number of minutes the turkey will take to cool to a temperature of 70.

Enter your answer as a number rounded to the nearest tenth.

Note: it will be in between two of the time values, which is strange. It's okay.

Question 12
12.

Based on the r-values, what model best fits this data?

Question 15
15.

According the r-values given, which model best suits the data?
