From Roohi: The function f(t) = a/(1+3e^(-bt)) has also been used to model the spread of a rumor. Suppose that a= 70 and b=3 0.2. Compute f(2), the percentage of the population that has heard the rumor after 2 hours. Compute f'(2) and describe what it represents. Compute lim t approaches infinity and describe what it represents. Answered by Penny Nom.
From aika: Could one show me the complete algorithm and formula for finding the coefficients (a,b, and c) in exponential regression model
y=a*exp(b*x)+c Answered by Robert Dawson.
From Steve: I'm trying to quantify the relation between conservation/consumption and population growth. For instance let's consider California:
The 2000 census states that California's population grew from 29,760* in 4-1990 to 33,871 in 4-2000. I want to find r or rate of growth per year. Based on the exponential growth formula for population growth: . . .
