Question

I NEED HELP ASAP! : An initial population of 175 quail increases at an annual rate of 22%. Write an exponential function to model the quail population. What will the approximate population be after 5 years?

Answer 1

Answer:

About 473 quails.

$P=175(1.22)^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equation with $P_0$ as the initial amount and rate of r is:

$P=P_0(1+r)^t$

$P=175(1+.22)^t$

$P=175(1.22)^t$

After 5 years the population will be:

$P=175(1.22)^5$

$P \approx 472.9739$

So the population will be about 473 quails.
