Caladan is currently one of the world's fastest-growing countries. The exponential function \( f(x)=91(1.027)^{x} \) models the population of Caladan, \( f(x) \), in millions, \( x \) years after 1974. Using this exponential function and a calculator with a \( y^{x} \) key or a \( { }^{\wedge} \) key, answer the following questions. a. Substitute 0 for \( x \) and, without using a calculator, find Caladan's population in 1974 . 91 million Substitute 26 for \( x \) and use your calculator to find Caladan's population in the year 2000 as predicted by this function. 181.9 million (Round to the nearest tenth.) cind Caladan's population in the year 2526 as predicted by this function. million (Round to the nearest tenth.)

Use the remainder theorem to find the remainder when \( f(x) \) is divided by \( x-1 \). Then use the factor theorem to determine whether \( x-1 \) is a factor of \( f(x) \). \( f(x)=3 x^{3}-2 x^{2}+7 x-2 \) The remainder is \( \square \).

The function \( f(t)=60,000(2)^{\frac{1}{40}} \) gives the number of bacteria in a population \( t \) minutes after an initial observation. How much time, in minutes, does it take for the number of bacteria in the population to double?

Use the remainder theorem to find the remainder when \( f(x) \) is divided by \( x-1 \). Then use the factor theorem to determine whether \( x-1 \) is a factor of \( f(x) \). \( f(x)=2 x^{4}+7 x-3 \) The remainder is

The number of U.S. travelers to other countries during the period from 1990 through 2009 can be modeled by the polynomial function \( P(x)=-0.00530 x^{3}+0.1366 x^{2}+1.250 x+46.49 \) where \( x=0 \) represents \( 1990, x=1 \) represents 1991 , and so on and \( P(x) \) is in millions. Use this function to approximate the number of \( U \).S. travelers to other countries in each given year. (a) 1990 (b) 2000 (c) 2009 (a) In 1990 , the number of U.S. travelers to other countries was approximately \( \square \) million. (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.) (b) In 2000, the number of U.S. travelers to other countries was approximately \( \square \) million. (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.) (c) In 2009, the number of U.S. travelers to other countries was approximately \( \square \) million. (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.)

The size of a certain insect population is given by \( \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{t})=400 e^{.03 \mathrm{t}} \), where t is measured in days. At what time will the population equal 1600 ?
