Give the starting value a, the growth rate r, and the continuous growth rate k. Q=.181(e^.775)^t

Answer 1

Starting amount is 0.181

Growth rate is "e"

Continuous (k) is 0.775

Answer 2

If you start by setting t= 0, the value of Q is 0.181 so that's your starting value A. Think of it has a vertical stretching factor. For the continuous growth rate we take the derivative of e^0.775t with respect to t.

dq/dt = 0.775e^0.775t by the chain rule or dq/dt = 0.775*Q(t). So the continuous growth rate is 0.775.
