Using the given exponential model, it is found that the number of fish in Skipper's Pond at the beginning of the year 2006 is given by:
B. 192
The exponential model for the number of fish in the Pond in x years after 2000 is given by:
[tex]y(x) = 3(2)^x[/tex]
2006 is 6 years after 2000, hence the amount is of y(6), that is:
[tex]y(6) = 3(2)^6 = 192[/tex]
Hence option B is correct.
