A population of 240 birds increases at a rate of 16% annually. Jemel writes an exponential function of the form f(x) = abx to represent the number of birds after x years. Which values should she use for a and b?
The equation for exponential growth is this: Y=Initial(1+rate)TimeYour initial amount of birds is 240. Your rate is 1.16.
How does this correspond to the equation f(x) = ab^x?
