Since there are 100 centimeters in a meter and 1000 meters in a kilometer, 1,099,511,627,776 centimeters s 11 million kilometers.
So the dimensions of the sheet of paper required are 4 cm by about 11 million kilometers.
1. The function f x e x is called the natural exponential function. The number e is approximately equal to 271828.
2. In the formula A t Pert for continuously compound interest, the letters P, r, and t stand for principal, interest rate per
year, and number of years respectively, and A t stands for amount after t years. So, if $100 is invested at an interest rate
of 6% compounded continuously, then the amount after 2 years is A 2 100 e0062 s $11275.

6. (a) Taking t 0 in the year 2010 and measuring n in millions, we have (d) O (millions)
n 0 12 and r 0012. Therefore, an exponential model is
n t 12e0012t .

(c) Solving n t 14, we get 12e0012t 14 % ln 12e0012t ln 14
8. (a) In this case, a model for the bacteria population is n t n 0 ert 22e012t , so after 24 hours the population is
approximately n 24 22e01224 s 392 bacteria.
(b) In this case, a model is n t n 0 ert 22e005t , so after 24 hours the population is approximately
n 24 22e00524 s 73 bacteria.
9. (a) The doubling time is 18 years and the initial population is 112,000, so (c) O
a model is n t 112,000 2t18 .
(b) We need to find the relative growth rate r. Since the population is

12. (a) From the graph, we see that the initial bullfrog population was 100.
(b) We use a model of the form n t n 0 ert with n 0 100. Because we know that the population was 225 at t 2, we
solve n 2 225 % 100e2r 225 % r 12 ln 225 100 s 04055. Thus, a model is n t 100e

14. (a) Using n t n 0 ert with n 2 400 and n 6 25,600, we have n 0 e2r 400 and n 0 e6r 25,600. Dividing the

(b) From the formula for radioactive decay, we have m t m 0 ert , where m 0 22 and r s 0000433.
