Question

An initial population of 415 quail increases at an annual rate of 32%. Write an exponential function to model the quail population. What will the approximate population be after 5 years?

Answer 1

Below in bold.

Explanation:

The population P will increase by a factor of 1.32 each year.

The function is

P = 415(1.32)^t where t is the time in years.

After 5 years:

P = 415(1.32)^5 = 1663.
