Rachel has a large pond on her property. The pond contains many different kinds of fish including bass. She knows that the popul
ation of the bass is increasing exponentially each year at a rate of 4.8%. She also knows that there are currently between 250 and 275 bass in the pond.
If P represents the actual population of the bass in the pond in and t represents the elapsed time in years, then which if the following systems of inequalities can be used to determine the possible number of bass in the pond over time?
Check your solution by first checking the end point , in the related equation. Pick a value greater than , such as 2, to check in the inequality. Solve for x. Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable.
