Get started for freeWorld Population The relative growth rate of world population has been decreasing steadily in recent years. On the basis of this, some population models predict that world population will eventually stabilize at a level that the planet can support. One such logistic model is,
where is the year 2000 and population is measured in billions.
(a) What world population does this model predict for the year 2200? For 2300?
(b) Sketch a graph of the function P for the years 2000 to 2500.
(c) According to this model, what size does the world population seem to approach as time goes on?
Evaluating Logarithms Evaluate the expression.
(a) (b) (c)
Mixtures and Concentrations A 50-gal barrel is filled completely with pure water, Salt water with a concentration of 0.3 Ib/gal is then pumped into the barrel, and the resulting mixture overflows at the same rate. The amount of salt in the barrel at time t is given by
where 1 is measured in minutes and is measured in pounds.
(a) How much salt is in the barrel after 5 min?
(b) How much salt is in the barrel after 10 min?
(c) Draw a graph of the function
(d) Use the graph in part (c) to determine the value that the amount of salt in the barrel approaches as t becomes large. Is this what you would expect?
Families of Functions
(a) Draw the graphs of the family of functions
for , and 2.
(b) How does a larger value of a affect the graph?
