The fox population in a certain region has a continuous growth rate of 5 percent per year. It is estimated that the population in the year 2000 was 22900. (a) Find a function that models the population t years after 2000 (t = 0 for 2000). Hint: Use an exponential function with base 8. Your answer is P(t) : l l (b) Use the function from part (a) to estimate the fox population in the year 2008. Your answer is (the answer must be an integer) |
