In a certain culture, bacteria reproduce that triple daily.
a) If initially there is one bacterium, how many will there be after five days? And after
ten days?
b) What if we start with 500 bacteria?
3) Indicate which formula corresponds to each graph:
1() =2∙5+1 2 ( ) = −2 ∙ 5 - 1
1 1
3 ( ) = 2 ∙( )+ 2 4 ( ) = −2 ∙( )− 2
5 5
4) When studying the growth rate of a certain population since the year 1990, it is observed that
responds to an exponential model of the form: ( =) 10000 ∙ 1, dondex represents the
time in years and P(x) in number of people.
How many individuals were there in 1990?
b) In what year, approximately, does the population reach 11,950 inhabitants?
5) The population of a city triples every 50 years. At time t = 0, this population is
100,000 inhabitants. Provide a formula for the population P as a function of time t. What is the
population after:
100 years?
150 years?
200 years?
6) The population density that is located at a distance, expressed in km, from the
city center, within a certain radius. From this study arose the following formula:
( )=8∙e−0,05 where D(m) represents the thousands of people per km2.
a) What is the density in the city center?
b) What is the density at 6 km from the center?
7) Carla told her little brother that if he did his homework, she would give him $2 the first week and
I would double the amount every week for the next 10 weeks. Calling the number of
week, determine the formula that allows calculating the amount of money received each week
and then, explain if at any point you receive $2000 and, if so, when.

5 bacteria are placed on a Petri dish. The population triples daily according to the
next formula: = 5( ∙)3count the number of days, starting from when the
They placed the bacteria on the plate. How many bacteria will there be after two days?
The differences in pressure that occur when ascending a mountain are the cause that
some people suffer and have severe ear pain. Scientific research

it was determined that atmospheric pressure is given by the expression: ( ) = (10) xse is measured in
thousands of meters yf(x) is measured in atmospheres.
Create the graph of the function and determine what the pressure is at four thousand meters of height.
10) If 20 grams of salt are added to a certain amount of water, the amount q(t) of undissolved salt
4
then detseconds is given by: = 20
( )∙ (5) .
a) How much undissolved salt is there after 10 seconds?
b) How many seconds have passed if it is known that there are still 6.6 grams of salt not dissolved?
11) Consider the function ( ) = 2 ∙ e+ 1
a) It has as image set the interval:
( −∞; +∞ ) ( 1; +∞ ) ( −∞; 1 ) ( 2+∞ )
b) Cut the line at the point:
( 0; 0 ) ( 1; 0 ) ( 2; 0 ) Does not intersect the x-axis.
c) Cut the eye at the point:
( 0; 3 ) ( 0; 1) ( 0; 0 ) It does not cut the y-axis.
A radioactive element that decays in its growth after a time t (measured in
(years) satisfies the following formula:c = 60 · 2−0,02
a) What is the amount of this element at the beginning of the process?
b) What amount remains after 500 years?
c) In what year (approximately) are there 52 of these radioactive elements?
