How would you know the difference between a growth and a decay model? Be specific.
Growth is an increase in the population, while decay is a decrease. Specifically, if the k value is positive, we have growth, but if the k value is negative we have decay.
What rules, if any, would we use to find the derivative of y = (x2)/(ex)
Quotient Rule Primarily, Power and Exponential rules
Alternatively, negative exponent rule would lead to Product Rule primarily, Power rule and Exponential (chain) rule.

y= e-5x - ex
y' = -5e-5x - ex

How fast is the population of fruit flies growing in exactly 4 days?
y = 25e0.6931t is the model.

What rules, if any, would we use to find the derivative of y = x2(x2+1)5
Most likely: Product rule with Power and Chain rules
Potentially: Logarithmic differentiation, but all of ours will explicitly say so.
