spiderifilms6e 2022-02-01In 2011, the Population of China and India were approximately 1.34 and 1.19 billion people, respectively. However due to central control the annual population growth rate of China was 0.4% while the population of India was growing by 1.37% each year. if these growth rates remain constant. when will the population of India exceed that of China?
Jayleen Sanders 2022-02-01Exponential Growth and Decay
Exponential growth and decay problems follow the model given by the equation
-The model is a function of time t
-A(t) is the amount we have ater time t
-PIs the initial amount, because for t=0, notice how
-Tis the growth or decay rate. It is positive for growth and negative for decay
Growth and decay problems can deal with money (interest compounded continuously), bacteria growth, radioactive decay. population growth etc.
So A(t) can represent any of these depending on the problem.
Practice
The growth of a certain bactenia population can be modeled by the function
where A(t) is the number of bacteria and t represents the time in minutes.
What is the number of bactenia ater 15 minutes?
(round to the nearest whole number of bacteria.)
