Exponential Growth/Decay Model: P(t) = P0(1 + r)t
Half‐life Formula: Ex. 1: Determine the exponential function:
A. Initial value = 5 Decreasing at a rate of 0.59% per week B. Initial mass = 17 g Halving once every 32 hours
Ex. 2: Determine the logistic function:
A. Initial population = 16 Maximum sustainable population= 128, passing through (5, 32) 3.2-1 Page 1
