10. The number y of hits a new website receives each month can be modeled by y = 4080ekt, where
t represents the number of months the website has been operating. In the website’s third month,
there were 10,000 hits. Find the value of k, and use this value to predict the number of hits the
website will receive after 24 months. (8 points)
11. The number of bacteria in a culture is increasing according to the law of exponential growth. After
3 hours there are 100 bacteria, and after 5 hours there are 400 bacteria. How many bacteria will
there be after 6 hours? (8 points)
12. The management at a plastics factory has found that the maximum number of units a worker can
produce in a day is 30. The learning curve for the number N of units produced per day after a new
employee has worked t days is modelled by N = 30(1 − ekt). After 20 days on the job, a new
employee produces 19 units. . (8 points)
a. Find the learning curve for this employee. Hint: First, find the value of k.)
b. How many days does the model predict will pass before this employee is producing 25 units
per day?
