Question

A population of 350 animals has a growth rate of 5% each year. Write a exponential function to model the situation.

Answer 1

Answer: A =350 (1.05)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential growth function:

A = P (1 + r) t  

Where:

p = original population

r = growing rate (decimal form; 5/100=0.05)

t= years

A = population after t years

Replacing with the values given:

A = 350 (1+0.05)^t

A =350 (1.05)^t
