Answer:

for plato users the answer is B.  B. The initial number of squirrels in the forest is 7,500, and growth rate is 6% per year

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

We have that

$7500(1.06)^{n}$

we know  that
a) The initial number of squirrels in the forest is for n=0 years
substitute
$7500(1.06)^{0}=7500$ squirrels

b) (1.06)=(1+0.06)
0.06 is the percent growth rate
0.06=6/100-----> 6%

therefore

the answer is the option
D.)The initial number of squirrels in the forest is 7,500, and the growth rate is 6% per year
