A population of caribou in a forest grows at a rate of 6% every year. If there are currently 258 caribou, which function represents the number of caribou in the forest in t years?

Respuesta :

Answer:

P(t) = 258( 1 + 6%)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the  population of caribou in a forest grows at a rate of 6% every year. If there are currently 258 caribou, the function representing the number of caribou in the forest in t years will be

P(t) = 258( 1 + 6%)^t

Since it is increasing, it will be 1 + 6%

Where P(t) is the function representing the population after t years.

258 is the current or initial population.
