80 POINTS AND BRAILIST

1. Mrs. Galicia is building a chicken farm in 2021 with an initial population of 3750 chickens. The farm grows at a rate of 2.15% annually. (a) Use the exponential growth model to write an equation that estimates the population t years after 2021. (b) Estimate the population of the town in 2036.

Respuesta :

The exponential function is given by [tex]y = 3750(1.0215)^t[/tex], in 2036 the population is 5160.

What is an exponential function?

An exponential function is in the form:

y = abˣ

Where y,x are variables, a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplication factor.

Let y represent the population of the chicken after t years after 2021.

In 2021 with an initial population of 3750 chickens, hence a = 3750.

The farm grows at a rate of 2.15% annually, hence b = 1 + 0.0215 = 1.0215

The exponential function is given by [tex]y = 3750(1.0215)^t[/tex]

In 2036, t = 2036 - 2021 = 15 years

[tex]y = 3750(1.0215)^{15}=5160[/tex]
