Question

The exponential function n = 4500 × 1.71d, where d is measured in decades, gives the number of individuals in a certain population. (round decimal answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated and report percents to the nearest percent.) (a) calculate n(1.2).

Answer 1

To calculate n(1.2) in the given exponential function, substitute 1.2 for d and evaluate the expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate n(1.2) in the exponential function n = 4500 × 1.71d, where d is measured in decades, we substitute 1.2 for d and evaluate the expression.

Thus, n(1.2) = 4500 × 1.71(1.2) = 4500 × 1.71^1.2 = 4500 × 1.93 = 8,685

Therefore, n(1.2) is equal to 8,685 when rounding to the nearest whole number.
