How does exponential growth all start in the world’s population? The new Malthusians say that the earth’s population is increasing faster every year and that the growth doubles approximately equal intervals of time, but now its accelerating beyond that. The anti-Malthusians think otherwise because countries are becoming industrialized which means less need for kids and we end up with a shrinkage. An example will be between Europe populations shrinkage and Africa’s population explosion. First,…
To support this we look at Nicholas Thompson’s article “Bigger Brother: The Exponential Law of Privacy Loss.” Thompson argues that the internet is designed to collect information from people therefore, even with privacy laws in place, owners of sites will continue to find creative ways to socially connect people (Thompson 284). He…
Exponential functions model situations where change is proportional to quantity. These functions have a consistent fixed period over which the function will double, triple, or quadruple as moves across the x-axis. With this function, there are typically two main equations used, exponential growth and decay; growth is y= a(1+ r)^x and decay is y= a(1-r)^x. a is the initial amount before the growth…
x^number Because both trend lines fit as well as they do, part of the air resistance equation has to contain either a power or an exponential equation in it. It is clearly not the first part of the equation as this always returns a constant number as none of these values change as the projectile flies through the air. pCA/2 No matter how often the equation gets run, this number will…
the various lines of insurance listed above. The statistical distributions considered for their study were the exponential distribution, the pareto distribution, the gamma distribution, the weibull distribution and the lognormal distribution. These distributions are discussed below with why Adeleke and Ibiwoye 1 (2011) deemed them suitable for modeling insurance claim amount. Exponential…
Population dynamics Without people and species that are present on planet Earth, it is safe to say that cities would not be existent. Therefore is of utter importance that one studies the growth of the human population and its nature. With that being said, the studies and recognition of the various population dynamics should be encompassed in the process of planning of sustainable of cities. This short essay shall discuss the concept of population dynamics and other fragments which are part of…
Along my journey, I encountered the following distributions; Normal, Exponential and Gamma. Additional continuous distributions are Weibull, Lognormal, and Beta. Normal Distribution (ND) is the first discovered landmark. ND is the most common distribution with regard to the central limit theorem which defines the averages of…
Mathematical writing is often not immediately easy and simple to understand, its takes time and big practice before comprehension. Understanding of Learning Journal and Guidance of unit 5 self-reflection, this week main topic overview is about Exponential and Logarithmic Function. Again, this topic is unique and one of the hardest that requiring ground…
Moreover, one similar experiment done was by Gause which derived the competitive exclusion hypothesis. The main differences between our experiment and his are we did not have a lag phase because we did not sample every day, instead we started in exponential. He managed to get similar numbers when beginning the experiment and we started with a random number. In conclusion, in his results, Pc became extinct which we only had decreasing…
parachute fall. In the parachute made for this investigation, which can be seen on Photo 1 on the left, the mass affects the area. Because of this, I predict that the drop time of the parachute will be affected indirectly by the mass, creating an exponential line of best fit. I think this will happen because even though mass does not affect acceleration of free fall, it affects the area of a weaker material used for a parachute. I predict that because of the fact that the parachute is made of…
