Suppose a culture of bacteria begins with 5000 cells and dies by 30% each year. Write an equation that represents this situation.

• y=5000(1 - 0.30)^x

• y=30(5000)^x

• y=5000(1 + 0.30)^x

• y=5000x^x

The expression 12(1.015)^t models the population of elephants in a wildlife refuge after t years since 1975.
What does the value 1.015 represent?

• The number of elephants was 1,015 in 1975.

• The number of elephants increases by 1.5% each year.

• The number of elephants increases by 101.5% each year.

• The number of elephants is multiplied by 1.015 each year.

Scientists have been monitoring and studying a specific animal population. They have found that the number of animals in the population can be modeled by the following exponential equation: P=1232(.8913)^t Determine which of the following statements are correct about this population. Select all that apply

• This population is in no danger of extinction

• Without intervention, the population will be extinct in 62 years.

• The population is increasing at a rate of 10.87%

• The population is decreasing at a rate of 10.87%

• In ten years the population will be 390

The original value of a painting is $1400, and the value increases by 9% each year. Write an exponential growth function to model this situation.

• y=1400(1.09)^x

• y=1.09(1400)^x

• y=1400(.91)^x

• y=1.09^x
