The fish population is growing 3 % each year in a local lake. The function to model this is A = A,(1 + r)' where A is the ending population, A, is the starting population, r is the annual growth rate, and t is the number of years. If the fish population was 1, 300 in 2010, how many fish can be expected in the lake 5 years later? Round to the nearest whole number.​
