An exponential function is :
f ( x ) = a * b^x,
where x is the number of the years.
a = 240 ( number of the birds at start )
16 % = 0.16
b = 1 + 0.16 = 1.16
f ( x ) = 240 * 1.16^x
Answer:
a = 240, b = 1.16
Answer:
x = positive or negative 
Step-by-step explanation:
Because it is impossible to simplify this with rational numbers, it is needed to use the quadratic formula. When doing this, you will find that x = positive or negative
