Question

Instructions: Determine whether the following situation can be modeled by a linear or exponential relationship, and use the model to answer the question.

Answer 1

The situation can be modeled by EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION

The equation of the model will be

`N(t)=4000(2)^{(t)/(200)}`

Population in 600 minutes

`\begin{gathered} N(t)=4000(2)^{(600)/(200)} \\ \\ N(t)=4000*2^3 \\ \\ N(t)=4000*8 \\ \\ N(t)=32000 \end{gathered}`

Answer is 32,000
