(Fish population) The population of a certain species of fish has a relative growth rate of 1.2% by year. The population in 2000 is estimated to be 12 million. (a) Find an exponential model n\left(t\right)=n_0e^{rt} for the population t years after 2000. (b) Estimate the fish population in 2005. (c) Draw a graph of the fish population.

Suppose that the number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to a continuous exponential growth model. A sample of 2500 bacteria selected from this population reached the size of 2947 bacteria in six hours. Find the hourly growth rate parameter. This is a continuous exponential growth model.
The population of a pigeons in a city is 6200 and is growing exponentially at 17% per year. Write a function to represent the population of pigeons after tt years, where the monthly rate of change can be found from a constant in the function. Round all coefficients in the function to four decimal places. Also, determine the percentage rate of change per month, to the nearest hundredth of a percent.
Diseases tend to spread according to the exponential growth model. In the early days of AIDS, the growth factor (i.e. common ratio; growth multiplier) was around 2.0. In 1983, about 1700 people in the U.S. died of AIDS. If the trend had continued unchecked, how many people would have died from AIDS in 2003?
