Question

The fox population in a certain region has an annual growth rate of 4 percent per year. It is estimated that the population in the year 2000 was 23600.

(a) Find a function that models the population  years after 2000 ( for 2000).Your answer is    

(b) Use the function from part (a) to estimate the fox population in the year 2008.

Your answer is (the answer should be an integer)   

Answer 1

P(t) = 23600(1 + 0.04)^t

P(8) = 23600(1 + 0.04)⁸
