Answer:
![y=32000(1+0.08)^x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D32000%281%2B0.08%29%5Ex)
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential growth function is ![y=a(1+r)^x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3Da%281%2Br%29%5Ex)
Where 'a' is the initial population
r is the rate of growth and x is the time period in years
a steady population of 32,000. So initial population is 32,000
an increase of 8% per year. the rate of increase is 8% that is 0.08
a= 32000 and r= 0.08
Plug in all the values in the general equation
![y=a(1+r)^x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3Da%281%2Br%29%5Ex)
![y=32000(1+0.08)^x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D32000%281%2B0.08%29%5Ex)
![y=32000(1+0.08)^x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D32000%281%2B0.08%29%5Ex)
I'm assuming that the signs inside each circle is its sign. So, negative sign in the circle means it is a negative number and vice versa.
a.) Given:
7 circles w/ negative signs, 4 out of 7 circles are crossed out.
- 7 - 4 = -11
b) Given:
7 circles with positive sings and 5 circles with negative signs. The 5 negative circles are crossed out.
+ 7 - (-5) = 7 + 5 = 12
I'm not sure if I am correct but I answered based on what I understand from the given data.
