Question

3 real-life applications of the Gompertz functions

Answer 1

I can think of one, you get that type of curve when you do things like strong acid/strong base titrations. I just did that in chemistry.

Answer 3

You get a curve almost exactly like the one on the right:

Answer 4

i know this function use to count population; besides that

Answer 5

Gompertz functions can be applied to a lot of situations where you imagine a saturation point being reached: adoption of new technology, for example. People may be slow to pick up a new technology but then it becomes more and more popular; at some point, a saturation point is reached where people already use the technology to some sort of equilibrium.

Answer 6

man i learn something new every day (or two)

Answer 7

Can you provide a specifc

Answer 8

A new medicine comes out: people are wary at first, so adoption is a bit slow, but then it picks up as people find it safe and effective. At some point, most people already ahve the medicine so consumption slows

Answer 9

A quick google image search for "iPhone sales graph" comes up with some graphs that can be modeled as real-world Gompertz functions: people want it at first, but they begin to REALLY want it after a while; at some point, everyone who wants one essentially already has one.
