the deer population increases at a rate of 3% per year. there are 1253 deer this year. write a function that models the deer population. about how many deer will there be in 6 years?

Respuesta :

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:
