Let’s address each question one by one:
-
Domain for fruit flies: The equation \( f(t) = 8(2)^t \) models the number of fruit flies after \( t \) days, and Annabel bakes the banana bread 5 days after returning from the market. The appropriate domain would be the range of time from when she gets the bananas (t = 0) until she bakes the bread (t = 5), therefore:
Answer: \( 0 \leq t \leq 5 \) (or \( 0 \leq t \leq 5 \)).
-
Graph for Callie's scholarship: For the equation \( a(t) = 1000(1.09)^t \), after 10 years, the amount in the account will be computed using the model. The graph should correctly show an increasing curve over the span of 10 years.
The graph that fits this is: Answer: An increasing curve with an arrow at the end is plotted in the first quadrant of a coordinate plane. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 10 in increments of 1 and the y-axis ranges from 0 to 2,000 in increments of 500.
-
Population of beetles: For the equation \( f(x) = 350(1.22)^x \), starting with 350 beetles, we need to fill out the table:
- For \( x = 0 \): \( f(0) = 350(1.22)^0 = 350 \)
- For \( x = 1 \): \( f(1) = 350(1.22)^1 = 427 \) (approximately)
- For \( x = 2 \): \( f(2) = 350(1.22)^2 \approx 520 \) (approximately)
- For \( x = 3 \): \( f(3) = 350(1.22)^3 \approx 634 \) (approximately)
- For \( x = 4 \): \( f(4) = 350(1.22)^4 \approx 774 \) (approximately)
- For \( x = 5 \): \( f(5) = 350(1.22)^5 \approx 944 \) (approximately)
This shows the population increases over the months. An increasing curve graph would accurately reflect this.
Answer: An increasing curve with an arrow at the end is plotted on a coordinate plane. The x-axis for months ranges from 0 to 10 in increments of 1. The y-axis for Beetles ranges from 0 to 2000 in increments of 250.
-
Value of a cell phone: The equation \( v(t) = 700(0.76)^t \) models the decreasing value of the cell phone over time. Since the equation decreases exponentially, the true statement should reflect that.
Answer: As t increases, v decreases slowly at first and then quickly.
-
Money doubling situation: The situation modeled by \( m(p) = 20(2)^p \) grows exponentially as people are asked to double the money. The statement that corresponds to this growth should indicate that as \( p \) increases, the amount of money increases significantly.
Answer: As p increases, m increases quickly at first and then slowly.
