Suppose that the population of some state in 2010 was P= 35 million and its annual percentage rate of continuous growth is R= 1.02%. (a) Write the formula f(x) = Pe, where r is in decimal notation, that models the population in millions x years after 2010. (b) Estimate the population in 2025. (a) f(x) = (Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression.) (b) The population in 2025 will be approximately (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.) million.

The median size of a new single-family house built in the United States between 1987 and 2001 can be modeled by the equation H(x) = 0.359x3 − 15.198x2 + 221.738x + 862.514 square feet where x is the number of years after 1980. † (a) Determine the value of x in the domain: 7 ≤ x ≤ 21 for which the median house size was increasing least rapidly. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)? (b) Thus, in which year was the median house size was increasing least rapidly? (Round your answer up to the nearest year.) (c) Find the corresponding house size. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)____square ft(d) Find the corresponding rate of change in house size. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)____square feet per year
The population of a certain country is known to increase at a rate proportional to the number of people presently living in the country. If after two years the population has doubled, and after three years the population is 20,000, find an expression for the approximate population of the country at any time and estimate the number of people initially living in the country.
Suppose an Egyptian mummy is discovered in which the amount of carbon-14 present is only about two-fifths the amount found in living human beings. The amount of carbon-14 present in animal bones after t years is given by y=y0e^−0.0001216t, where y0 is the amount of carbon-14 present in living human beings. About how long did the egytptian die?
