Question One
The population of a specific species of nocturnal mammal is decreasing at a rate of 3.5%/year. The graph models the number of mammals x years after they were originally counted.
Identify and interpret the key features of the exponential function modeled in terms of this situation.
Question Two
Once an antibiotic is given, number of bacteria decreases at a rate of 15%/day. There were about 15,000 bacteria prior to the treatment. The graph models the number of bacteria after x days of treatment.
What are the key features of the exponential function modeled in terms of this situation and how can they be interpreted?
Question Three
A local farmer had a mouse problem in his barn. He estimated there were about 800 mice to start with. He adopted some cats and noticed that the number of mice was decreasing by 8%/wk. The graph models the number of mice x weeks after the farmer adopted the cats.
Identify and interpret the key features of the exponential function modeled in terms of this situation.
