Answer:
P represents the population in year 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential growth function is f(x) = a (1 + r)^t, where a is the initial
amount (at t = 0), (1 + r) is the factor of growth , r is the rate of growth
in decimal ant is the time of growth
the function C(t) = P(1 + r)^t represents the population of
centerville at year t, where P is the initial population and r is the
rate of increase
If your investment is increased 10% annually, then that means
each year, your total has multiplied itself by 110% (the growth factor
is 1 + 10/100 = 1.1)
(1 + r) is the factor grows each year
C(t) = P(1 + r)^t
C depends on P(starting population) , r(the increasing rate and
t(the time in year)
r is the rate of increase means the percentage of increasing , then
0 < r < 1
r is not less than 0
P is the initial amount when t = 0
P represents the population in year 0
