Question

Would someone please help me thank you very much * no fake answer *

Answer 1

a = 1500

b = 0.97

Explanation:

The equation we are modeling is ;

F(x) = ab^x

Now we have two parameters to fix.

These are the density and the annual percentage increase

We can substitute the value of 1500 for a and also make a corresponding substitution for b.

Now for b, the value to substitute is quite dicey.

3% = 3/100 = 0.03

To make any substitution, we need to subtract this value from 1 and that would be 0.97

So it is this 0.97 that we now raise x to for each of the number of years
