Gray Wolves in Idaho The report cited in Example 4.6 tells us that in 2009, there were 870 gray wolves in Idaho, but that the population declined by 19 that year. For purposes of this problem, we assume that this 19 annual rate of decrease continues. a. Find an exponential model that gives the wolf population W as function of the time t in years since 2009. b. It is expected that the wolf population cannot recover if there are fewer than 20 individuals. How long must this rate of decline continue for the wolf population to reach 20?arrow_forwardReminderRound all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated.

How Fast Do Exponential Functions Grow? At age 25, you start to work for a company and are offered two rather fanciful retirement options. Retirement Option 1 When you retire, you will be paid a lump sum of 25,000 for each year of service. Retirement Option 2 When you start to work, the company will deposit 10,000 into an account that pays a monthly interest rate of 1. When you retire, the account will be closed and the balance given to you. Which retirement option is more favorable to you if you retire at age 65? Which retirement option is more favorable if you retire at age 55?arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Long-Term Population Growth Although exponential growth can often be used to model population growth accurately for some periods of time, there are inevitably, in the long term, limiting factors that make purely exponential models inaccurate. From 1790 to 1860, the U.S. population could be modeled by N=3.931.03tmillion people, where t is the time in years since 1790. If this exponential growth rate had continued until today, what would be the population of the United States have been in 2015? Compare your answer with the actual population of the United States in 2015, which was about 323million.arrow_forward
