Question

The rumber of mice living in a field triples each year. What type of function

represents this pattern?

Answer 1

Answer: exponential growth

Explanation:

Answer 2

Exponential function

Explanation:

we know that

In this problem we have a exponential function of the form

`f(x)=a(b^(x))`

where

x is the time in years

f(x) is the number of mice living in a field

a is the initial value (originally number of mice)

b is the base

r is the growth rate

b=(1+r)

In this problem

r=200%=200/100=2

b=1+2=3

The exponential function will be

`f(x)=a(3^(x))`
