A warren of rabbits has a population of 25. The population is increasing at a rate of 20% per year. How can you write an exponential growth function to find the monthly growth rate?

A. y = 25(1.2)^t
B. y = 25(1.1)^12t
C. y = 25(1.0167)^t
D. y = 25(1.01531)^12t

Respuesta :

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential growth function is "[tex]y = 25(1.0167)^t[/tex]". A complete solution is below.

Given:

Population,

  • 25

Increasing rate,

  • r = 20%

Now,

The value after 1 year will be:

= [tex]25+(\frac{20}{100} )25[/tex]

= [tex]25+\frac{1}{5}\times 25[/tex]

= [tex]25+5[/tex]

= [tex]30[/tex]

Now

→ [tex]25(1+\frac{R}{100} )^{12} =30[/tex]

→                   [tex]R = 1.67[/tex]

hence,

The exponential growth rate to find the monthly growth rate will be:

→ [tex]y = 25(1.0167)^t[/tex]

Thus the above answer i.e., option C is the correct alternative.
