The number of opossums found in South Carolina Forest grew according to the exponential model where t is the number of years after 2005: R(t)= 852(1.34)^t (a) What does the model give as the number of oposssums in 2005? (b) What is the growth rate of the opossums? (c) What does the model predict for the number of opossums in 2-22? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
