The fox population in a certain region has a continuous growth rate of 5 percent per year. It is estimated that the population in the year 2000 was 28500. (a) Find a function that models the population t years after 2000 (t=0 for 2000). Hint: Use an exponential function with base e. (b) Use the function from part (a) to estimate the fox population in the year 2008
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
