Answer: See Below
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
y = a(b)ˣ where
- a: initial population (starting point)
- b: growth rate
- x: number of hours
- y: final population
<u>Part 1 </u>
Given: a = 1, b = 1.5 → y = 1(1.5)ˣ
Given: a = 1, b = 1.5, y = 500,000
to take over Antelope Valley
<u>Part 2</u>
Given a = 1, b = 2 → y = 1(2)ˣ
Given: a = 1, b = 2, y = 500,000
to take over Antelope Valley
