Half Life and Logistic Growth Assignment

Solve the following

1. Identify the initial amount and the growth rate of the following:

Y = 250 (1+0.2)t

2. Identify the initial amount and the growth rate of the following:

Y = 9.8 (1.35)t

3. Write the exponential growth function to model the following situation:

A population of 422, 000 increases by 12% each year.

4. At t = 0 there are 50 grams of a radioactive isotope. The isotope has a half-life of 16 minutes. Use the exponential decay model to write the amount A as a function of time t.
