Question

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words.Sabrina is researching the growth of a population of horses on a ranch. She models the population of horses using the function below, where n is the number of years after she begins the research and b is an unknown base.

Answer 1

The initial number of horses is given by n=0.

Replacing on the equation:

`\begin{gathered} w(0)=15\ast b^0 \\ w(0)=15\ast1 \\ w(0)=15 \end{gathered}`

The initial number of horses is 15.

Now, if b= 1.35

We need to convert it to percentage:

b = 1.35 = 135%

Therefore, the growth is:

135%-100% = 35%

Then,

If b = 1.35, the annual percentage growth rate of the number of horses would be 35%.
