Answer:
[tex]P(t)=170\cdot (1.30)^t[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that there are 170 deer on a reservation. The deer population is increasing at a rate of 30% per year.
We can see that deer population is increasing exponentially as each next year the population will be 30% more than last year.
Since we know that an exponential growth function is in form: [tex]f(x)=a*(1+r)^x[/tex], where a= initial value, r=growth rate in decimal form.
It is given that a=170 and r=30%.
Let us convert our given growth rate in decimal form.
[tex]30\text{ percent}=\frac{30}{100}=0.30[/tex]
Upon substituting our given values in exponential function form we will get,
[tex]P(t)=170\cdot (1+0.30)^t[/tex]
[tex]P(t)=170\cdot (1.30)^t[/tex]
Therefore, the function [tex]P(t)=170\cdot (1.30)^t[/tex] will give the deer population P(t) on the reservation t years from now.
Answer:
p(t)=170 x (1.30)^t
