Question

The fox population in a certain region has an annual growth rate of 4 percent per year. It is estimated that

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) P(t) = 12100*(1.04^t)

(b) in 2008, estimate of population is 16560 (to the nearest integer)

Step-by-step explanation:

Population in 2000, P(0) = 12100

Growth rate = 4% each year

(a) function model for the t year after 2000 (exponential model)

P(t) = 12100*(1.04^t)

(b) for 2008,

P(2008-2000)

= P(8)

= 12100*(1.04^8)

= 12100 * 1.368569

= 16559.7

= 16560  (nearest integer)
