A species of frog on an island initially had a population of 425 when scientists first began studying it. Since then, the population has increased 6.5% each year. Model this situation where LaTeX: xx is the number of years since the scientists began studying the population and f(x) is the total frog population. PLEASE HELP

Answer:


f(x) = 425 + 0.065x

Explanation:

F(x) represents the number of frogs that year.

425 is the starting number of frogs

0.065 is the amount by which the frogs increased each year in the form of a decimal, (x) is the year it is since the start of observation.
