    The document discusses exponential growth models for different populations over time. It provides starting and ending amounts for llamas, elephants, and bacteria at set time intervals, and asks to write formulas for the growth or predict future amounts. For llamas, the population grew from 1000 to 2000 from t=0 to t=4. For elephants, it was 1000 to 2000 from t=2 to t=4. Bacteria grew from 10 to 2000 from t=0 to t=4 in one case and 1010 to 2000 from t=2 to t=4 in another, asking when it would reach 100,000. The last question predicts bacteria growing from 500 to 800 in 2 hours to the amount at t=5 hours.

    1. A herd of llamas is growing exponentially.

    At time t=0 it has 1000 llamas in it, and at time t=4 it has 2000 llamas.
    Write a formula for the number of llamas at arbitrary time t.
    2. A herd of elephants is growing exponentially. At time t=2 it has 1000 elephants in it, and at time t=4 it
    has 2000 elephants. Write a formula for the number of elephants at arbitrary time t.
    3. A colony of bacteria is growing exponentially. At time t=0 it has 10 bacteria in it, and at time t=4 it has 2000. At
    what time will it have 100,000 bacteria?
    4. A colony of bacteria is growing exponentially. At time t=2 it has 1010 bacteria in it, and at time t=4 it has 2000.
    At what time will it have 100,000 bacteria?
    5. Suppose that a certain culture of bacteria grew from 500 to 800 in 2 hours. Use an exponential growth model to
    predict the number of bacteria in 5 hours.
    6.
