- Enter the data from Table 2 into a graphing calculator and graph the ranking scatter plot. Determine whetherthe data from the table would likely represent a function that is linear, exponential, or logarithmic.arrow_forwardThe fox population in a certain region has an annualgrowth rate of 9 per year. In the year 2012, therewere 23,900 fox counted in the area. What is the foxpopulation predicted to be in the year 2020 ?arrow_forwardExplain why the values of an increasing exponentialfunction will eventually overtake the valuesof anincreasing linear function.arrow_forward
- Population Growth In section 2.1, Exercise 37, the growth in world population in millions was approximated by the exponential function At=3100e0.0166t, where t is the number of years since 1960. Find the instantaneous rate of change in the world population at the following times. Source: United Nations. a. 2010 b. 2015arrow_forwardSales of a video game released in the year 2000 took off at first, but then steadily slowed as time moved on. Table 4 shows the number of games sold, in thousands, from the years 20002010. a. Let x represent time in years starting with x=1 for the year 2000. Let y represent the number of games sold in thousands. Use logarithmic regression to fit a model to these data. b. If games continue to sell at this rate, how many games will sell in 2015? Round to the nearest thousand.arrow_forwardDoes a linear, exponential, or logarithmic model best fit the data in Table 2? Find the model.arrow_forward
