Growth and Decay question. I need help with part B :) Thaaaank you ! http://prntscr.com/71osw7

OpenStudy (surana):

Try doubling the values. I think.

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

graph it on a graphing calculator first

OpenStudy (surana):

Desmos Graphing Calculator is a good place to start. Try it.

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

I've already graphed it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

¿Hablas chicos españoles ?

OpenStudy (surana):

Excellent, what did you get?

OpenStudy (surana):

Hola senor, como esta usted?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bien cómo estas?

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

umm.. A = 100 when t = 0?

OpenStudy (surana):

Bien, gracias.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

te gusta ayudar a las personas con las matemáticas ?

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

oops. I get it now! k = 0.1 ^_^

OpenStudy (surana):

Yo tambien.

OpenStudy (surana):

That's good, butterflydreamer!

OpenStudy (dan815):

i dont get it, why is it 0.1

OpenStudy (dan815):

this question looks weird, the area is never twice its initial value though

OpenStudy (surana):

Honestly, I don't know. What's your perspective?

OpenStudy (surana):

Is that a good or bad thing?

OpenStudy (rational):

initial value is 100 limiting value is 300 so there exists a value 200 somewhere in between right ?

OpenStudy (dan815):

oh 300 is limit? i thought it was decaying

OpenStudy (surana):

Probably.

OpenStudy (rational):

subtracting a decaying function from a big positive value gives an increasing function

OpenStudy (surana):

Okay.

OpenStudy (dan815):

oops lol wasnt thinking

OpenStudy (dan815):

at t=inf we got A=300 ofcourse

OpenStudy (dan815):

would we have to solve these system of eqn then \[dA/dt=10\\ 200=300*(1-2/3 * e^{-kt})\]

OpenStudy (rational):

yes k=0.1 is right

OpenStudy (dan815):

i concur
