The population of a pigeons in a city is 4400 and is growing exponentially at 15% per year. Write a function to represent the population of pigeons after t years, where the monthly rate of change can be found from a constant in the function. Round all coefficients in the function to four decimal places. Also, determine the percentage rate of change per month, to the nearest hundredth of a percent.
