Question

There were 137 adult dusky gopher frogs in 2014. The number of adult dusky gopher frogs has grown about 9% per year since then. Predict the number of adult dusky gopher frogs in 2022

Answer 1

Answer:

273 frogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of growth in the number of frogs N = 137(1.09)^t where t is the time in years.

The year 2022 is 8 years after 2014 so the prediction for N in 2022 is:

N = 137(1.09)^8 = 273.
