The elephant population was 2649 in 1995 and the elephant increase each year by 4.5% (1.045 - 1).

Exponential function

An exponential function is in the form:

y = abˣ

where y, x are variables, a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplier.

Let y represent the elephant population in Northwestern Namibia and Ethosha National Park b years since 1995.

Hence:

y = 2649(1.045)ᵇ

The elephant population was 2649 in 1995 and the elephant increase each year by 4.5% (1.045 - 1).
