12. Ex. The number of households, D, in millions, with HDTV is given by the exponential model D = 30.92e0.1171t, where t is years since When will the number of households reach 100 million? 12 12

13. Ex. The number N of bacteria in a culture is modeled by N = 450ekt, where t is time in hours. If N = 600 when t = 3, estimate the time required for the population to double. 13 13

14. Ex. A population of fruit flies is increasing according to an exponential growth model. After 2 days, there are 100 flies, and after 4 days there are 300 flies. How many flies will there be after 5 days? 14 14

15. Ex. A picture supposedly painted in approximately 1675 contains 99
Ex. A picture supposedly painted in approximately contains 99.5% of its carbon-14 (half-life 5730 years). Is the painting a fake? 15 15

16. Gaussian Model
This is often used in probability and statistics to represent a normally distributed (bell-shaped) model 16 16

17. Logistic Growth Model
This can be used to represent a model with a rapid increase followed by leveling off. 17 17

18. where y is the number of students infected after t days.
Ex. On a college campus of 5000 students, the spread of a virus is modeled by
where y is the number of students infected after t days.
How many students are infected after 5 days?
b) If the college cancels classes when 40% of students are infected, after how many days will classes be cancelled? 18 18
