- Can the date below be described as exponential growth? Justify your answer by using a graph, an equation, or a logical argument. Can you think of a situation that the data might describe?arrow_forwardUse the table to answer the question. Hours Number of Bacteria 0 20 million 4 22 million 8 25 million 12 28 million 16 32 million 20 36 million 24 40 million 28 45 million The scatterplot of these data, when graphed, reveals what relationship between hours and the number of bacteria? Explain. The scatterplot reveals that hours and number of bacteria have a strong exponential relationship since the points closely follow an exponential curve. Since the number of bacteria increases as time increases, the relationship is negative. The scatterplot reveals that hours and number of bacteria have a strong exponential relationship since the points closely follow an exponential curve. Since the number of bacteria increases as time increases, the relationship is positive. The scatterplot reveals that hours and number of bacteria have a strong linear relationship since the points closely follow a line. Since the number of bacteria increases as time…arrow_forwardThe exponential models describe the population of the indicated country, A, in millions, t years after 2006. Which country has the greatest growth rate? By what percentage is the population of that country increasing each year? Country 1: A = 25.4e0.024t Country 2: A = 145.6e−0.003t Country 3: A = 1080.1e0.013t Country 4: A = 125.4e0.003t Country nothing has the greatest growth rate.arrow_forward

Year Internet hosts 0 5.846 3 29.67 6 109.574 9 317.646 12 541.677 15 818.374 Let H(t) be the number of internet hosts in millions for t years since 1995. ( Use three decimals in your answer)An exponential model for the data is H(t) = Estimate the number of hosts in 2016? ________ millions Use the model to predict the year in which the number of hosts will be 984 million? ___________arrow_forwardThe exponential models describe the population of the indicated country, A, in millions, t years after 2006. Which country has the greatest growth rate? By what percentage is the population of that country increasing each year? Country 1: A = 26.5e^0.022t Country 2: A = 141.5e^−0.007t Country 3: A = 1094.9e^0.019t Country 4: A = 133.9e^0.007tarrow_forwardAn October 2009 article in The Industry Standard states that "independent Twitter data shows exponential tweet growth." GigaTweet, an independent tweet-counting service, reports that the number of tweets was 5.0 billion in October 2009. In April 2009, the number of tweets was 1.6 billion. (a) Develop the exponential growth model that fits with these data, where t is the number of months after April 2009 and p is the number of tweets in billions. (Round the coefficient of t to seven decimal places.) p(t) = (b) Use the model to predict when there will be 35.0 billion tweets. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) ____months after April 2009arrow_forward

Round to two decimal places. 2) Assuming the exponential trend continues, predict how long it will take for the wind speed to be 85 mph. Round to two decimal places. 3) Compare both of the predicted times for the wind speed to drop to 85 mph with the original data. Which model predicts the time best? Explain why giving specific details. 4)According to the exponential model, what will the wind speed be after 20 hours? Round to two decimal places.arrow_forward2. The number of Android smartphone users has grown exponentially since it was first introduced to the market in 2007. The number of Android users in the world in was approximately .092 billion (92 million) in 2010 and .5 billion in 2012. a) According to this data, what was the approximate number of users ?(?), ? years after 2010? b) When would the number of Android users have reached 2 billion?arrow_forward
