Question

(This question is related to the picture question)

The fish population in local lake is 10,000 the population increases by half every year which function represents the fish population after X years
F(x)= 10,000 parentheses (1.5)^x
Pls help it would mean a lot I’m stressing need ASAP

Answer 1

5.
`f(x) = 10,000 (1.5)^x`

Explanation:

==>>We would have to multiply the original amount by 1.50^x because the initial amount would be 1, and 50% increase would be .5 so 1.5 and you raise it to the number of years to show the total increase.

• Let's test it

Initial: 10,000

After 1 year

10,000 + (.5*10000)

10,000 + 5000 = 15,000

--

After 2 years

15,000 + (.5*15000)

15,000 + 7500 = 22,500

--

Let's try our equation.

`f(x) = 10,000 (1.5)^x`

`x=2`

`10,000(1.5)^2`

`10,000(2.25) = 22,500`
