1. An exponential growth or decay model is
given.
Determine whether the model represents growth or decay
Find the growth or decay factor
Find the growth or decay rate.
a. F(x)= 50(1.2)x
b. Y=(1/3)x
c. N(x)= 39.(2.8)x
d. H(T)= (0.15)T
e. M(t)= 3.5(0.7)t
2. A patient is administered 250 mg of a therapeutic
drug. It is known that 40% of the drug is expelled from the body
each hour.
Find an exponential decay model for the amount of drug remaining
in the patient’s body after t hours.
Use the model to predict the amount of the drug that remains in
the patient’s body after 10 hours.
