Mint Corporation’s operations are such that the total amount mined by the $n$nth week of operations is given by $M=100\left(1.15\right)^{n-1}$M=100(1.15)n−1.
Crest Corporation’s operations are such that the total amount mined by the $n$nth week is given by the equation $C=100n^2$C=100n2.
To accommodate for its distributing population, a country creates a new city and immediately relocates $400000$400000 of its citizens there. The city’s land is allocated such that it can immediately produce enough food for $600000$600000 people in the first year. The table shows the functions that can be used to predict the city's population ($P$P) and the number of people who can be fed ($Q$Q), after $t$t years.
