  2. FIVE COMMON TYPES OF MATHEMATICAL MODELS 1. Exponential Growth 2. Exponential Decay 3. Gaussian Model 4. Logistics Growth 5. Logarithmic Model

  3. 1. EXPONENTIAL GROWTH Find the annual rate (%) for a $10,000 investment to double in 5 years with continuous compounding. A = P ert with P = 10000, A = 20000, t = 5 20000 = 10000er(5) or 2 = e5r ln 2 = ln e5r gives ln 2 = 5r(ln e) = 5r r = (ln 2)/5 = 0.1386 or r is 13.9%.

  4. 2. EXPONENTIAL DECAY The half life of carbon 14 is 5730 years. Find the equation y = a e bx if a = 3 grams. 0.5(3) = 3 eb(5730) or 0.5 = e5730b ln 0.5 = ln e5730b gives ln 0.5 = 5730b(ln e) = 5730b b = (ln 0.5)/5730 = -0.12097 Thus the equation is y = 3 e -0.12097x .

  5. EXPONENTIAL EQUATION 3. Write the exponential equation of the line that passes through (0,5) and (4,1). The equation is of the form y = a e bx . (0,5) yields 5 = a eb(0) or 5 = a e0 or a = 5. (4,1) yields 1 = 5 eb(4) or 0.2 = eb(4) ln 0.2 = ln e4b gives ln 0.2 = 4b(ln e) = 4b b = (ln 0.2)/4 = -0.402359 Thus the equation is y = 5 e -0.402359x .

  6. BACTERIA GROWTH 4. The number of bacteria N is given by the model N = 250 e kt with t in hours. If N = 280 when t = 10, estimate time for bacteria to double. The point (10,280) yields 280 = 250 eb(10) 1.12 = e10b or ln 1.12 = ln e10b ln 1.12 = 10b(ln e) = 10b b = (ln 1.12)/10 = 0.0113329 Thus the equation is y = 250 e 0.0113329t .

  7. TIME OF DEATH 5. The time, t, elapsed since death and the body temperature, T, at room temperature of 70 degrees is given by If the body temperature at 9:00 a.m. was 85.7 degrees, estimate time of death.

  8. TIME OF DEATH concluded 5. If the body temperature at 9:00 a.m. was 85.7 degrees, estimate time of death. t = -2.5 ln 0.54895 = 1.499 or t = 1.5 hrs So time of death was 1.5 hrs before 9 a.m Thus the time of death was 7:30 a.m.

  9. Study and Learn before time runs OUT.
