Solution

Let's match the models to the equations given:

  1. Linear growth: This is represented by an equation of the form y=mx+by = mx + b where the slope mm is positive.

    • Equation: y=0.75x80y = 0.75x - 80
  2. Linear decay: This is represented by an equation of the form y=mx+by = mx + b where the slope mm is negative.

    • Equation: y=3.2x+200y = -3.2x + 200
  3. Exponential growth: This is represented by an equation of the form y=aekty = ae^{kt} where kk is positive.

    • Equation: y=400e0.078ty = 400e^{0.078t}
  4. Exponential decay: This is represented by an equation of the form y=aekty = ae^{kt} where kk is negative.

    • Equation: y=8000e0.124ty = 8000e^{-0.124t}
  5. Logistic growth: This is represented by an equation of the form y=L1+Cekty = \frac{L}{1 + Ce^{-kt}}.

    • Equation: y=120001+79e0.24ty = \frac{12000}{1 + 79e^{-0.24t}}

So, the matched models are:

  1. Linear growth: y=0.75x80y = 0.75x - 80
  2. Linear decay: y=3.2x+200y = -3.2x + 200
  3. Exponential growth: y=400e0.078ty = 400e^{0.078t}
  4. Exponential decay: y=8000e0.124ty = 8000e^{-0.124t}
  5. Logistic growth: y=120001+79e0.24ty = \frac{12000}{1 + 79e^{-0.24t}}
