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


Solution
The situation can be modeled by EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION
The equation of the model will be
[tex]N(t)=4000(2)^{\frac{t}{200}}[/tex]Population in 600 minutes
[tex]\begin{gathered} N(t)=4000(2)^{\frac{600}{200}} \\ \\ N(t)=4000\times2^3 \\ \\ N(t)=4000\times8 \\ \\ N(t)=32000 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer is 32,000
