Ashley has an online store since the 2000s. L = # of packages. T # Of years Year # of packages (In hundreds) 2000 7 2005 11 2011 53 2016 113 2019 203 1. Find the Exponential that gives L as a function of T. 2. Set up an equation and use Log inverse method to determine the year Ashley will reach 70,000 packages shipped 3. Use the function to find out how many packages she would have shipped out by 2022.

Step 1
To find the exponential function, we can use the formula L = ab^(T), where L is the number of packages, T is the number of years since 2000, and a and b are constants. We can use the data from the table to find the values of a and b. Using the data from the year Show more…

In 2000 , there were about 300 million Internet users. That number is projected to grow to 1 billion in $2005 .$ a. Let $t$ represent the time, in years, since $2000 .$ Write a function of the form $y=a e^{c t}$ that models the expected growth in the population of Internet users. b. In what year might there be 500 million Internet users? c. In what year might there be 1.5 billion Internet users? d. Solve your equation for $t .$ e. Writing Explain how you can use your equation from part (d) to verify your answers to parts $(\mathrm{b})$ and $(\mathrm{c}) .$

The sales S (in millions of dollars) for a coffee shop from 1996 through 2005 can be modeled by the exponential function S(t) = 188.36(1.284)^t, where t is the time in years, with t = 6 corresponding to 1996. Use the model to estimate the sales in the years 2009 and 2018. (Round your answers to one decimal place.) (a) 2009 $ million (b) 2018 $ million
