Question

A population numbers 15,000 organisms initially and grows by 2.3% each year.

Suppose
P
represents population, and
t
the number of years of growth. Write an exponential model, P, in the form
P
=
a
⋅
b
t
.

P
=

Answer 1

P(t) = 12,000 (1.032)t

Explanation:

P(t) = P0 (1.032)t

t = years

P0 = 12,000

P(t) = 12,000 (1.032)t

a = 12,000

b = 1.032
