Exponential Growth and Decay Newton’s Law Logistic Growth and Decay Section 6
Objectives Find equations of populations that obey the law of uninhibited growth Find equations of populations that obey the law of decay Use Newton’s Law of Cooling Use logistic models
A0: original amount at t = 0 k: constant t: time A: current amount If k > 0, exponential growth occurs If k < 0, exponential decay occurs
