Answer: 3583.37 ≈ 3500
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential change can be modeled by:
N = N(0) x λⁿ; where λ is the rate of change. It is greater than 1 when there is growth and less than 1 when there is decay. n is the number of time periods passed.
λ is 1 + 0.083 = 1.083
N(0) is the initial value of 750
n is 2050 - 2005 = 45 years
N = 750 x (1.083)⁴⁵
= 27,000 fish
If 12.6 was rounded, that means that it was rounded to the tenths place.
You know this because the number has one decimal place, so that must be what it was rounded to.
