Question

04.03 Exponential Functions and Models!!! someone help :(??
MEDAL?!

Answer 1

Today is your lucky day! You have just won a contest and they can pay you your prize in two different ways.

Option one is to pay you $10,000 every ten days, for thirty days.

Option two is a prize of a penny that doubles every day, for thirty days.

Answer 2

@noneyabusiness ???

Answer 3

@.WhiteDragon. ??

Answer 4

@thewonderfuladele??

Answer 5

If you selected this option, on day 30 you will receive $10,737,418.24!

This is an example of an exponential function because the rate of increase is changing. It gets twice as big each day! OPTION 2

Answer 6

If you selected this option, you will have $30,000 at the end of the thirty days.

This is an example of a linear function because the rate of increase is constant. OPTION 1

Answer 7

@thewonderfuladele please help?

Answer 13

What's your question? I see the problem laid out, but I'm not sure where you're stuck.

Answer 14

I am just stuck period... I can take a picture of the problem?

Answer 15

alright, go ahead

Answer 16

okay one second.

Answer 17

04.03 Assignment
Iris has been studying an invasive population of snails. This particular snail has no local predators so the population grows wildly. She has observed that the population follows an exponential rate of growth for fifteen years.

Create your own exponential function, f(x), which models the snail population. You will need to identify the principal population of the snails and the rate of growth each year. Explain to Iris how your function shows the principal population and the rate of growth, in complete sentences.


A local snail population grows according to the function g(x) = 200(1.03)2x. Demonstrate the steps to convert g(x) into an equivalent function with only x as the exponent. Then explain to Iris how the key features of this local snail population compares to the key features of the invasive population.


Iris wants to graph the invasive snail population to show the city council. Justify what the appropriate domain and range would be for the function f(x), what the y-intercept would be, and if the function is increasing or decreasing.


In five years, a garden festival plans on using the park where Iris has been studying the invasive snails. Explain to the garden festival committee how to find the average rate of change for the snail population between years 2 and 5. Describe what this average rate of change represents.

Answer 18

I got the real questions..

Answer 19

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 20

were you able to get anywhere with these new questions?

Answer 21

no :(

Answer 22

it says to "Create your own exponential function", so are you given a data set to work with?

Answer 23

No sir..

Answer 24

odd how they expect you to create a function, but don't give you any data

Answer 25

it's like they want you to make up a function out of the blue, hmm

Answer 26

exactly.

Answer 27

does it give you a growth rate and initial population?

Answer 28

No :(

Answer 29

ok there's a lot of missing information for the first question

Answer 30

it cannot be answered unless you want to make something up

but that may be wrong

Answer 31

A local snail population grows according to the function g(x) = 200(1.03)2x. in question 2

Answer 32

A local snail population grows according to the function g(x) = 200(1.03)2x. Demonstrate the steps to convert g(x) into an equivalent function with only x as the exponent. Then explain to Iris how the key features of this local snail population compares to the key features of the invasive population.

Answer 33

hint:

\[\Large a^{b*c} = \left(a^b\right)^c\]

Answer 34

I still do not get it :(....

Answer 35

for example

\[\Large 2^{3x} = (2^3)^x\]

Answer 36

what is 2^3?

Answer 37

2*2*2=6

Answer 38

more like 2*2*2 = 8

Answer 39

* means multiply

Answer 40

so,

\[\Large 2^{3x} = (2^3)^x = 8^x\]

Answer 41

Notice how I went from the exponent of 2x to just 'x'

Answer 42

yes

Answer 43

so how can we apply that to \[\Large 1.03^{2x}\]

Answer 44

mulitpy 8 and 2?

Answer 45

no,

\[\Large 1.03^{2x} = (1.03^{2})^{x} = ???\]

Answer 46

I am still completely lost.. :(

Answer 47

I need help on this too!

Answer 48

What would be a good domain/range?

Answer 49

was this assignment ever done ?
