For this case we have a function of the form:
[tex]y = A * (b) ^ t
[/tex]
Where,
A: initial population
b: growth rate
t: time in years
Substituting values we have:
[tex]y = 1253 * (1.03) ^ t
[/tex]
Then, for t = 6 years we have:
[tex]y = 1253 * (1.03) ^ 6
y = 1496[/tex]
Answer:
a function that models the deer population is:
[tex]y = 1253 * (1.03) ^ t
[/tex]
there will be 1496 deer in 6 years
