In the year 2000, the number of bunnies in a certain forest was 320. Since that year the number of bunnies in that forest has increased at a rate of 16% per year. Write a function, f(x), that models the number of bunnies x year after the year 2000.

Answer:

f(x)=320(1.16)^x

This is an exponential equation with an initial population at x=0 of 320 (because 1.16^0=1, and 320*1=320) After the first year, there are 371 bunnies. After two years, there are 431, etc etc.
