Answer:
<u>Exponential Function</u>
General form of an exponential function with base :
where:
- A is the y-intercept
- e (Euler's number) is the base
- k is some constant
<h3><u>Question 30</u></h3>
The curve crosses the y-axis at y = 40. Therefore, A = 40.
Substitute the found value of A into the formula along with (1, 56) and solve for :
To find the population in 10 years, substitute into the found equation:
<h3><u>Question 31</u></h3>
The curve crosses the y-axis at y = 10. Therefore, A = 10.
Substitute the found value of A into the formula along with (1, 18) and solve for :
To find the population in 8 years, substitute into the found equation:
