Question

An initial population of 490 quail increases at an annual rate of 6%. Write an exponential

function to model the quail population. What will the approximate population be after 5 years?

Answer 1

656

Explanation:

Given data

Initila population= 490

Rate = 6%

TIme= 5 years

Let us apply the compounding expression

A=P(1+r)^t

substitute

A= 490(1+0.06)^5

A=490(1.06)^5

A=490*1.338

A= 655.62

Hence the approximate Quail population will be 656
