Credit Card Payments You make one charge to a new credit card, but then charge nothing else and make the minimum payment each month. You can't find all of your statements, but the accompanying table shows, for those that you do have, your balance B in dollars, after you made n payments. Payment n 2 4 7 11 Balance B 478.73 440.74 389.33 329.99 a. Use regression to find an exponential for the data in the table. Round the decay factor to four decimal places. b. What was your initial charge? c. For such a payment scheme, the decay factor equals (1+r)(1m). Here r is the monthly finance charge as a decimal, and m is the minimum payment as a percentage of the new balance when expressed as a decimal. Assume that your minimum payment is 5, so m=0.05. Use the decay factor in your model to determine your monthly finance charge.arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated.

Wages A worker is reviewing his pay increases over the past several years.

By calculating ratios, show that the data in this table are exponential. Round the quotients to two decimal places b. What is the yearly growth factor for the data? c. The worker can't remember what hourly wage he earned at the beginning of 2000. Assuming that W is indeed an exponential function, determine what that hourly wage was? d. Find a formula giving an exponential model for W as a function of t. e. What percentage raise did the worker receive each year? f. Given that prices increased by 26 over the decade of the 2000s your model to determine whether the workers wage increases kept pace with inflation.arrow_forward

Our goal is to make an exponential model or the data and use it to get a more accurate estimate of the rate of change in population in 1955. a. Use regression to obtain an exponential model for population growth. For details on the method used here, see Section 4.4. b. Use the formula you found in part a to get dNdt in 1955. c. How does your answer from part b of this exercise compare with your answer from part a of exercise 3? Does this agree with your answer in part c of Exercise 3? Population Growth The following table shows the population of reindeer on an island as of the given year. date 1945 1950 1955 1960 population 40 165 678 2793 We let t be the number of years since 1945, so that t=0 corresponds to 1945. and we let N=N(t) denote the population size. a. Approximate dNdt for 1955 using the average rate of change from 1955 to 1960, and explain what this number means in practical terms. b. Use your work from part a to estimate the population in 1957. c. The number you calculated in part a is an approximation to the actual rate of change. As you will be asked to show in the next exercise, the reindeer population growth can be closely modeled by an exponential function. With this in mind, du you think your answer in part a is too large or too small? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. An Inappropriate Linear Model for Radioactive Decay This is a continuation of Exercise 14. Physicists have established that radioactive substances display constant percentage decay, and thus radioactive decay is appropriately modeled exponentially. This exercise is designed to show how using data without an understanding of the phenomenon that generated them can lead to inaccurate conclusions. a. Plot the data points from Exercise 14. Do they appear almost to fall on a straight line? b. Find the equation of the regression line and add its graph to the one you made in part a. c. If you used the regression line as a model for decay of 239U, how long would it take for the Initial 1 gram to decay to half that amount? Compare this with your answer to part d of Exercise 14. d. The linear model represented by the regression line makes an absurd prediction concerning the amount of uranium Uranium-239 remaining after 1 hour. What is this prediction? 14. The half life of 239U Uranium-239 is an unstable isotope of uranium that decays rapidly. In order to determine the rate of decay, 1 gram of 239U was placed in a container, and the amount remaining was measured at 1-minute intervals and recorded in the table below. Time, in minutes Grams remaining 0 1 1 0.971 2 0.943 3 0.916 4 0.889 5 0.863 a. Show that these are exponential data and find an exponential model For this problem, round all your answers to three decimal places. b. What is the percentage decay rate each minute? What does this number mean in practical terms? c. Use functional notation to express the amount remaining after 10 minutes and then calculate the value. d. What is the half life of 239U?arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated.

Round the ratios to two decimal places. b. Estimate B(2.75) and explain in practical terms what your answer means. Assume that interest is compounded and deposited continuously.arrow_forward
