Question

An initial population of 415

Answer 1

Answer:

The exponential function to model the duck population is:

f(n)=415*(1.32)^n, where:

x is the duck population

n is the number of years

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the duck population you can use the formula to calculate future value:

FV=PV*(1+r)^n

FV=future value

PV=present value

r=rate

n=number of periods of time

In this case, the present value is the initial population of 415 and the rate is 32%. You can replace these values on the formula and the exponential function to model the duck population would be:

f(n)=415*(1+0.32)^n

f(n)=415*(1.32)^n, where:

x is the duck population

n is the number of years
