Why are exponential functions important in describing population growth?
What will be an ideal response?
The reason why exponential functions govern population growth rate is similar to the way spring oscillators work. The rate at which a population grows, its rate of change with respect to time, depends on how many individuals are in the population to begin with: the more individuals available to procreate the more offspring can be produced. Therefore, the equation that governs the growth of populations is a function whose rate of change (slope) is proportional to itself. This is exactly the definition of an exponential to begin with.

What are the major differences between the 5400 and 7400 series of ICS?
A) The 5400 series are military grade and allow for a wider range of supply voltage and temperatures. B) The 7400 series are an improvement over the original 5400s. C) The 7400 series was originally developed by Texas Instruments; the 5400 series was brought out by National Semiconductors after TI's patents expired, as a second supply source. D) The 5400 series are military grade and require tighter supply voltages and temperatures.
