The circulation C of a certain magazine as a function of time t is given by the formula
c=5.2/0.1+0.3t
Here C is measured in thousands and t is measured in years since the beginning of 2006 when the magazine was started.
Find when the circulation of the magazines will reach 34.83 thousand. Write the equation you are solving.
Based on annual data from 2000-2010, the Gadget Company estimates that sales are growing according to a linear trend:
Q = 50,000 + 200t
where t is time and t = 0 in 2000.
a. Forecast sales for 2013.
b. Do you see any problems with this forecasting method?
Q6 Suppose that at time t=0, half of a "logistic" population of 100000 persons have heard a certain rumor and that the number of those who have heard it is then increasing at the rate of 500 persons per day. How long will it take for this rumor to spread to 80% of the population? ( Suggestion: Find the value of k by substituting P(0) and P'(0) in the logistic equation)
a.
About 98 days
b.
About 34 days
c.
About 19 days
d.
About 69 days
e.
