A population \(p\) of migrating butterflies satisfies the equation \(p = 100,\!000 \boldcdot \left(\frac{4}{5} \right)^w\) where \(w\) is the number of weeks since they began their migration.
Complete the table with the population after different numbers of weeks.
| \(w\) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| \(p\) |
Graph the butterfly population.
Think carefully about how to choose a scale for the axes.
The graph shows the amount of a chemical in a water sample. It is decreasing exponentially.
Find the coordinates of the points labeled \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\). Explain your reasoning.
The graph shows the amount of a chemical in a water sample at different times after it was first measured.
Select all statements that are true.
The amount of the chemical in the water sample appears to be decreasing exponentially.
The amount of the chemical in the water sample appears to be increasing exponentially.
The amount of the chemical in the water sample appears to be changing linearly.
When it was first measured, there were 2,000 mg of the chemical in the water sample.
After 4 hours, there were 100 mg of the chemical in the water.
The graph shows the amount of a chemical in a patient's body at different times measured in hours since the levels were first checked.
Could the amount of this chemical in the patient be decaying exponentially? Explain how you know.
The height of a plant in mm is 7. It doubles each week. Select all expressions that represent the height of the plant, in mm, after 4 weeks.
\(7 + 4 \boldcdot 2\)
\(7 \boldcdot 2^4\)
\(2 + 7^4\)
\(7 \boldcdot 2 \boldcdot 2 \boldcdot 2 \boldcdot 2\)
\(7 \boldcdot 2 \boldcdot 4\)
