Question

What is a real-world situation that can be modeled by y = 3^t? How could I modify this equation if it were changed to y = 2(3)^t? If the equation were rewritten in the form y = b(1 + r)^t, what would be the value of r?

Answer 1

Well, \(3^t\) could representing something that triples every year.

Answer 2

Ok, how about the pairs of shoes someone gets?
