Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The equation of a exponential growth function is given by
where
y is the population of rabbits
x is the number of years since 1991
a is the initial value
r is the rate of change
we have
substitute
For the year 1998
the number of years is equal to
x=1998-1991=7 years
so
we have the ordered pair (7,18,000)
substitute in the exponential equation and solve for r
elevated both sides to 1/7
therefore
Predict the population of rabbits in the year 2006
Find the value of x
x=2006-1991=15 years
substitute the value of x in the equation
