APPLICATION PROBLEMS – EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS

Population Growth
13. The population of a certain species of high school students is limited by the type of classroom required forstudying (or being senselessly tortured by math teachers) because of limited air conditioning. Under such conditions the population follows a logistic growth model [pic] where t is the time in hours. (a)Find the initial student population, (b) Find the population after 5 hours, (c) Estimate what size the population approaches after many hours have passed.

Compound Interest
14. A sum of $1000 isinvested at an interest rate of 12% per year. Find the amounts in the account after 3 years if interest is compounded annually, semiannually, quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily and continuously.ANSWERS
