\( 1 \leftarrow \) The formula \( A=21.2 e^{0.0413 t} \) models the population of a US state, A , in millions, t years after 2000 . a. What was the population of the state in 2000 ? b. When will the population of the state reach 29.8 million? a. In 2000 , the population of the state was \( \square \) million.

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.)

Find the maximum \( y \)-value on the graph of \( y=f(x) \). \[ f(x)=-4 x^{2}+x-7 \] The maximum \( y \)-value is \( y=\square \). (Type an integer or a fraction.)

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 ?

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 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?
