Using an exponential function, it is found that the latest models battery life will be of 841 minutes 7 months from now.
What is an exponential function?
An increasing exponential function is modeled by:
[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 + r)^t[/tex]
In which:
- A(0) is the initial value.
- r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
In this problem, considering that the current battery life is of 684 minutes, and it should increase by 3% each month, the equation for the battery life after t months is given by:
[tex]A(t) = 684(1.03)^t[/tex]
Then, in 7 months, it will be given by:
[tex]A(7) = 684(1.03)^7 = 841[/tex]
