Answer:
The function can be written in Matlab program to compute the current number of birds in the habitat after x number or years.
f(x)=3ˣ*10
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, in year zero we have 10 birds. This number increased to 30 on the first year.
0 Year 3⁰*10 = 10 Birds
1st Year 3¹*10 = 30 Birds
2nd Year 3²*10 = 90 Birds
3rd Year 3³*10 = 270 Birds
4th Year 3⁴*10 = 810 Birds
xth Year 3ˣ*10 = Current number of Birds
f(x) = 3ˣ*10
See below the MatLab function to solve the problem
function NumOfBirds=currentbirds(x);%function to compute current number of birds in x number of years
prompt='enter number of years in digits: ';% This prompt you to input the number of years
x=input(prompt);
NNOB=3^(x)*10;% This compute the new number of birds in the habitat
b=['The current number of birds is: ',num2str(NNOB)];
disp(b)% this display the result of the computation
SEE BELOW RESULT OF THE FUNCTION WHEN TESTED
>> currentbirds
enter number of years in digits: 3
The current number of birds is: 270
>> currentbirds
enter number of years in digits: 5
The current number of birds is: 2430
>> currentbirds
enter number of years in digits: 4
The current number of birds is: 810
>> currentbirds
enter number of years in digits: 10
The current number of birds is: 590490
