To Evaluate: Complete the table and graph the function.

                                                                         Calculus homework question answer, step 1, image 1

where, 

time is t(in years)

Rate is r

Step 2

a. Complete the table.

            r 0.009 0.014 0.019 0.024 0.029 0.034
            t 77.016 49.511 36.481 28.881 23.902 20.387

To complete the table, we will put the value of r into the given function and get the corresponding value of t.
