. A population is currently 6,000 and has been increasing by 1.2% each day. Write an exponential model for the population.

Step-by-step explanation:

General exponential function:

, where P= current  population

r= rate of growth

t= time period

A= population after t years

As per given , we have P=6,000

r= 1.2% = 0.012

Then, the required exponential function:  

or

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
