Population are always modeled by exponential growth equation given by:
f(x)=a(1+b)^t
where:
a=original number
b=rate of growth
t=time
thus
f(x)=412(1.05)^t
the population after 9 months will be:
f(9)=412(1.05)^9=639.15=639
I think it's suppose to go
6% is .06 divided by 12 which is .005 times the number of months so in this case 9 so 5,000 times .005 times 9 which is 225 so 5,000 plus an interest of 225 adds up to 5,225
The answer is d!
